Japan visa ban over fake voucher
Print Edition
THE Japanese consulate in the city has suspended visa applications from a local travel agency after one of its customers tried to use a fake voucher in Japan.
Online travel agent ctrip.com said yesterday that it was told that it cannot apply for visas to Japan until January 15 as it should take joint responsibility for its customer’s wrongdoing.
Chinese mainland travelers wanting to travel to Japan must obtain their visas through a travel company.
The ban was introduced at the end of last month after an incident involving a tourist who booked on a cruise through Ctrip in Shanghai.
Ashore in Japan, the passenger left the group without permission and was caught trying to use a fake voucher, an insider told Shanghai Daily.
The insider did not say when the incident occurred, nor what the voucher was for.
Ctrip’s website currently only offers visa applications in Guangzhou and Beijing.
The application fee for a visa to Japan is 200 yuan (US$32), while local agencies usually charge 300 to 800 yuan.
It normally takes 10 days to process an application.
Japan requires travelers from China’s mainland to provide tax evidence of at least a 120,000 yuan annual salary, a 50,000 yuan deposit, invitations from travel agencies and flight tickets and hotel details.
Other travel agencies in Shanghai are unaffected by the Japanese consulate ban.
