Do I need a Japanese visa? [duplicate]

I'm travelling to San Francisco (SFO) with family this May. My first flight is with JAL to Narita. After a 12hr layover, the next flight is from Haneda to San Francisco. Similar routing on the way back a few weeks later (SFO-HND / NRT - ? ). Do I need a visa for Japan and if yes, what kind?

Best Answer

I will go with the presumption you hold a passport issued by India (I Googled your name). I entered your data into Timatic which the airline will also use (and deny boarding if you don't have the necessary documentation). It shows you need a visa. Checking visa types, the transit visa will be enough as it is valid for 15 days maximum.

An unexpired visa in an expired passport may be used provided the passenger also carries a second valid passport which must be officially bound with the expired one. A valid visa in an expired passport can be transferred to the valid passport by any Japanese consulate.
