You live in Japan on another passport?

Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Timing and tips
The visa is issued on the spot upon entry, and only the number of travellers at the counter affects the wait.

For an entry by land, verify in advance that the chosen border post issues this visa.

Common mistakes
A damaged or nearly full passport, or the lack of a suitable means of payment, can delay the issue of the visa. Some travellers also forget to note the length of stay granted on entry and exceed it: the deadline is shown on the visa or stamp. Finally, beware of intermediaries who charge for unnecessary assistance with this visa issued on arrival.
