ROSCon VISA support (JTB) experiences and difficulties

@Dima_Tisnek

The organiser can probably steal the visa workflow from some larger conference, e.g. like this: Entry to Japan｜ICMFS-2022

This is a good summary of the Japanese visa application process. In that description steps 1, 2 and 3 are offered to ROSCon attendees as a service by JTB. This part is applying for and getting each applicant a personalized ERFS from the Japanese MOFA which is required for your visa application. Because this requires applying for and receiving the ERFS it takes at least 5 business days. Unfortunately the Japanese MOFA and JTB are both quite busy these days and there’s no ability to accelerate the process.

Japanese consulate in is asking me for the inviter company paper that shows it is registered in Japan .Also ,it asked for inviter resident card,or they won’t give me the Visa.
However, I contacted with **JTB ,**they are not going to provide me these documents .
Did you face such a problem like this?

The paperwork that JTB provides will include all of the required supporting documents necessary to apply for your visa, including documentation of the inviting organization, the letter of invitation, a letter of guarantee, and a written pledge, with your ERFS and schedule of travel. All of which are personalized for your visa application.

A request for the resident card sounds like you might be applying for a personal visit instead of a business visit. If you’re still having trouble please continue your thread with Kate.
