Short-term stay visa for tourism (sticker visa or eVisa)
A genuine airline reservation in your passport name with a booking reference you can check online. ₹708 for the first traveller, delivered on WhatsApp.
The requirement
The individual tourist checklist is published by VFS as a PDF (with or without guarantor) and is built around an itinerary / schedule of stay in Japan, which has to show your arrival and departure. The VFS page text itself only spells out a ticket for group tours, so read the PDF checklist for the exact flight wording; a held return reservation is the usual way to support the schedule.
Indian passport holders need a visa before travelling to Japan; there is no visa-free entry or visa on arrival. Applications are lodged through VFS Global and decided by the Embassy or the Consulate General of Japan for your region. The file is judged on a clear day-by-day plan, proof of funds and evidence that you will return to India.

Before you apply
A visa officer reads your flight, hotel and application form together. They should tell one story.
You cannot apply more than 89 days before your intended travel date, so plan the reservation dates inside that window.
Make the flight dates, hotel nights and the schedule of stay agree exactly; a gap of even one night invites a query.
Apply at the centre that covers your state of residence; the deciding mission differs by region and so can the processing time.
Arrange documents in the checklist order and keep every photocopy on A4, as VFS asks.

Questions
₹708 for the first traveller and ₹472 for each additional traveller on the same booking, taxes included. If your appointment is some days away, an extended-hold reservation is ₹1,770 for one traveller.
Yes. It is a genuine airline reservation held in your passport name with a booking reference (PNR). While the hold is live you can look it up on the airline's own website. It is a held reservation, not a paid ticket, and cannot be used to board a flight.
The airline decides how long a hold stays live, typically from about 48 hours up to roughly two weeks depending on airline and route. Order close to your Japan appointment date, or ask for an extended hold.
The application is built around a schedule of stay that shows when you enter and leave Japan, and applicants normally support it with a return flight reservation. The exact wording sits in the VFS checklist PDF for your category, so read that before you apply. A held reservation is enough to show the dates; you do not need to rely on memory or a rough plan.
Japan accepts applications only within 89 days of travel, and the Chennai consulate quotes a minimum of 3 working days to process. Hold a reservation for the application and buy the final ticket once the visa is issued.
The VFS Chennai page lists INR 500 for Indian nationals from 1 April 2026, for single or multiple entry, plus a VFS service charge of INR 800. The visa fee is refunded only if the visa is not approved; the service charge is not refunded.
