From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the serene temples of Kyoto, Japan’s magnetic charm pulls in travellers from every corner of the globe. With the recent e-visa process in place since April, Indian travellers can now hop, skip, and jump to Japan for up to 90 days. But that’s not all. A valid visa for Japan also grants Indian passport holders easy access to other countries like the Philippines and Taiwan. Here are six countries you can visit with a Japan visa.

Philippines

Indian passport holders can visit the white-sand beaches and coral reefs of the Philippines for 14 days if they have a valid Japan visa.

Other documents required: An Indian passport valid at least six months beyond the date of departure from the Philippines and a return or onward ticket to the next destination.

Georgia

If you’ve got a valid Japan visa and a valid passport, you can explore the cobblestone streets and breathtaking landscapes of Georgia for up to 90 days, within any 180 day period.

Montenegro

If you’re craving beachside bliss and walks amidst charming old towns, Montenegro allows holders of a valid Japan visa entry into the country for up to 30 days. It’s best to verify specific requirements with your nearest embassy or consulate.

Singapore

The Visa Free Transit Facility allows Indian passport holders to transit through Singapore and spend 96 hours in the country if they hold a Japan visa that’s valid for at least a month at the time of travel.

Other documents required: An onward flight or ferry ticket that departs within 96 hours.

Mexico

A Japan visa will come very handy when travelling to Mexico. Indian passport holders with a valid multiple entry Japan visa may be exempt from visa entry requirements to Mexico and are able to spend up to 180 days in the country.
