I am Filipino and i am currently working in Japan. I would like to visit Korea/Taiwan, do i need a visa?

Question

If i need a visa is there any Korean/Taiwan (Chinese) embassy near Toyama, Japan?

Answer 1

Yes, as a Filipino you need a visa to visit Taiwan and/or Korea. The fact that you currently working and living in Japan unfortunately does not make any difference.

I don't know what the second answered was thinking, but of course you do NOT contact the (PRC) Chinese embassy if you want to go to Taiwan. Although the (mainland) Chinese like to think otherwise, Taiwan is de facto independent and has its own visa procedures.

So... for Taiwan:
See here for details about the visa application procedure and the documents you need:

Then, you will need to send your application and the relevant documents to the Mission of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in Tokyo. They only provide information in Japanese, but perhaps if you contact them, you may be able to communicate in English as well:

For Korea, see this info for general information:

It looks like Filipinos do not have to pay a visa fee!

Information is quite minimal... so perhaps indeed send an e-mail to [e-mail]

Apart from this, it is worth mentioning that if you book your trip (or even just your flight) through a Japanese travel agency (like HIS, IACE etc.), they often offer to take care of your visa application for a reasonable fee (something like 5000 yen). This can save you a lot of trouble and worries!

Good luck!

Answer 2

Wait a min. Taiwan is not China.
Don't go to China embassy. Taiwan Representative Office is in Osaka.
Korean embassy which have jurisdiction of Toyama is in Niigaya.

You had better ask travel agency to get an VISA.

Answer 3

RIP English... does not remember in case you have an enduring tackle in Japan, what concerns is your passport. in case you have a jap passport, you do no longer choose a visa as a results of visa waiver software between Japan and US. you should examine the Osaka/Tokyo US embassy websited to comprehend even in the journey that your united states is an element of the visa waiver settlement with the US. If no longer, then you certainly would desire to get a visa. i'm an enduring resident in Japan. yet in view that I actual have a Filipino passport, I had to get a visa with a view to shuttle to the US.
