## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Other ordinary passports require a short-stay visa** (Visa required)
  Japan requires these non-exempt ordinary-passport nationalities to obtain a visa before a short visitor stay.
  - This classification covers short stays up to 90 days for tourism, business, or visits without remunerative activity.
  - Japan's eVisa is a residence-, purpose-, travel-mode-, and sometimes agency-conditioned application route rather than universal nationality eligibility.
  - Work, long stay, residence, transit, diplomatic, official, refugee, stateless, and special-document treatment remain outside this policy.
