Get Ready for JESTA — Japan’s New Travel Authorization System Launching by 2028

Japan is introducing JESTA (Japan Electronic System for Travel Authorization), a mandatory online travel authorization for visitors from 71 visa-exempt countries. Starting by the end of fiscal year 2028, travelers will need to apply for JESTA JAPAN approval before boarding flights to Japan.

What Is JAPAN JESTA?

JESTA is Japan’s version of an electronic travel authorization, similar to the U.S. ESTA system. It is designed to:

Pre-screen travelers for security risks before arrival
Speed up immigration processing at Japanese airports
Strengthen border control and prevent illegal stays

Who Needs JESTA JAPAN?

If you are traveling from any of the 71 visa-exempt countries—including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, South Korea, and many EU nations—you will be required to get JESTA approval before your trip.

How to Apply for JESTA (Japan ESTA)?

When launched, the application process will be simple and fully online:

Fill out your personal and travel information
Submit your passport details and itinerary
Pay a nominal application fee (to be announced)
Receive electronic travel authorization before your flight

Without a valid JESTA JAPAN approval, boarding your flight to Japan may be denied.

Why Is JESTA Important for Travelers?

Japan welcomed a record 36.9 million visitors in 2024. To ensure smooth and safe entry, JESTA will:

Reduce wait times at immigration
