Do I need visa for transit in Japan?
I'm Myanmar passport holder and flying to Myanmar from Mexico but I have to transit in Japan. I will arrive at Narita Airport Terminal 1 at 6:20 am and depart from Terminal 2 at 9:15 am on the same day, 2 hours & 55 minutes in Narita. I can show my flight ticket onward, and I'm just going back home. Do I need visa in this case? I've called the Japanese Embassy in Mexico & they said I might need visa but might not if I don't leave the airport.
Best Answer
You do not need a visa, according to IATA Timatic, used by airlines and travel agents to verify passengers travel document requirements for their destination and any transit point. Whether your luggage is handled by the airline(s) or by you, you are able to Transit Without Visa (TWOV) as a you have an onward ticket and are transiting on the same calendar day.
