moonraker:


So this thread was brought to my attention by a nairalander. I am not sure what else needs to be said on here. however if anyone has any

questions, you can post it right here and i will do my best to respond.


One thing i must stress though, is that getting the visa from Nigeria is the hard part, going thru the POE is the easy part..

For years, some Nigerians has spoilt our countries name here, especially in Tokyo (Especially the igbos and yorubas). I have no beef against

any of this ethnicities but i am only stating the fact. From pimping ladies on the streets of roppongi, to drugs, etc.

On the flipside, We have serious minded Nigerians here who earn their living the legit way, from oil and gas, education sector, IT sector etc.

There was even a Yoruba guy by the name of Bobby Ologun ( look him on the internet for more information) who was very popular.

Sorry least i forget, knowning the Japanese language is key if you want to succeed here... If you dont know the language, you will be

handicapped seriously....

Landed in Narita Int.

We went to Marita express and took train.

Got ticket to Suidobashi. One from Narita to Tokyo station and the other to Suidobashi.

When we got to Tokyo, I was lost patapata. Saw the only Japanese who could speak English and he helped me out.

He said the Suidobashi train stopped and I have to go through Kunda and ochaomizu at subo line.

On getting to Ochanonizu, no one could speak in English, then I knew I was in for it.

I just walked up a staircase from the underground to the normal ground level.

Not knowing when to turn to, saw this couple and walked up to them telling my predicament. Time now 11:30pm Japanese time.

They couldn't English too well. The guy was trying, but the lady is zero.

Cab man, not fit speak A and B. We had to use car Navigation system to trace Suidobashi in Chiyoda Ku.

These couple had to join me in the cab to lead me to the hotel themselves.

The cab billed me ¥1000 yen from Ochanomizu to Suidobashi. It was the car that calculated the fare on the metre board.

We got to the hotel, I booked from Nigeria via Booking. com and these couple finally said their good bye.

I thanked them a lot and prayed for them.

Moral is that don't enter as a stranger to anywhere in the night, except you have a strong lead

UrennaNkoli:

Saikin dō? I should also be in Tokyo soonest. Anata no shusshin wa dojo desuka? Don't mind me, I've been having some Japanese lessons of late

davodyguy:


Yes and No

I received an email from Japan on why they've refused to give Nigerians visa.

They said many Nigerians do abscond in Japan after entering the country.

I was given mine within 3 days

ladylco:


So why dont you share the application process for us to learn from and to assit those of us who intends to apply.

Th

davodyguy:


I already did. sometime last year.

I went for a conference, hence it was business visa

9izguy:


Also, did you apply for your Japan visa with a virgin passport or it has record/s of previous travel/s?

davodyguy:


Virgin passport yes, no record.

Filled the form, and filed all require documents.

Sponsor letter from the office with over 5million naira in the account
my personal account with over 2 million

9izguy:


Thank you so much for your quick response.
But, considering my case below, what advice do you have for me;
I am planning to go for a conference in Japan
that will be holding between November 22 to
24th but the Organizing Committee will only send me
Invitation letter and no other document. It's
actually an international conference for
Engineering and Applied Science Researchers
and i am currently a Masters degree student in
one of Nigerian Universities and do not have up to 1m in my account. Please, how best do
i go about this in order to obtain my visa and
scale through other immigration processes as it concerns having a strong tier here in Nigeria?
Also, what is expected to be in the content of the sponsor's letter and do they ask for any kind of health insurance?
Note: I will be going by a Company's sponsorship
and can provide identification letter from my School/
department.

davodyguy:


don't WORRY.

I went for conference.

just do this

A letter from your school, showing that you must return to complete your MSC.

A letter from your company saying how important you are to them and you need to attend the conference to improve your on the Job performance

A letter from Organizers of conference in Japan

Bank statement from your office

9izguy:


Thank you again.
One more question. Must all the letters be addressed to Japanese embassy or To whom it may concern?
Just to know as to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

davodyguy:

Consular general Japanese Embassy . Nigeria Xyz Street Maitama district
Fct Abuja
