You will need a transit visa only if you intend to exit the airport i.e through the passport control. If you intend to exit then you can contact the airline you are flying with and they will arrange a transit visa for you as long as you have proof of a confirmed onward flight (i.e an air ticket).

that's the spirit bros you shall make it

You don't need a visa if you are transiting as when i was coming from Cyprus to Turkey to Abu Dhabi to Lagos. I didn't use a transit visa

If you are heading to Tokyo, go to roppongi station. Many Nigerians work for clubs there. It's an entertainment area. Police will stop you everywhere you go, especially in Roppongi. Japanese people are nice but hard to undertand then, what they say is usually not what they really mean. So you will learn to read their straight face. Japan is one of the hardest country to live as a foreigner. The word for a foreigner is "gaijin", an outsider. However they are now forced to open up their country because the population is shrinking rapidly. You can get free japanese lessons from your city hall. Register with the city hall to get good health insurance, and also register with the police near you. Stay away from recreational drugs, Nigerian jails are Hilton compared to japanese ones. Goodluck in your life there.

i am grateful my bros, thanks for these inform

You dont need a transit visa in dubai,obviously you are covered by the airline,but mind you,you wont be allowed to leave the airport boarding halls. Enjoy your husle in japan

Please be aware that due to language barrier, you will have limited places to work. Do not try to work without a permit because you will be automatically sent to detention and then sent home. Since there are few foreigners and crime is very low, japanese police love to stop and ask ID to foreigners, especially Africans. If you have a valid visa like spousal or training or student, there are many jobs that pay well but you need to learn japanese .

Always carry your passport until you obtain japanese ID. This alien card is mandatory to be carried at all times. If you fail to produce it, the police will fine you 200,000 yen, about $2000.

Tokyo50 has said it all. read his posts over again

Nowhere without nigerians

Tokyo can you please throw light on their business areas..especially the auto mobile world. What kind of visa do they give for business visit.thanks

As a Nigerian you need a sponsor in Japan in order to obtain a visa to come here. If you want to check their usef car business you need to find a car businessmen willing to sponsor you. There are many car auctions and some will send a letter to their embassy to say that you will attend their auction to obtain a business visa.

There are many business exhibitions in Tokyo (check Tokyo Big Site on Google). You can try to obtain a visa if you want to exhibit Nigerian products. They have exhibitions for foodstuff, cars, tourism, medicine etc. I think it is easier to obtain visa this way. You can also apply for a visa just to attend any of these exhibitions for marketing purposes etc. You need to proove that your business in Nigeria will benefit by your attendance. You will need to show you are a genuine businessman and show various documents.

The guarantor/sponsor must fill the form and send it to you and you include this with your visa application documents. The form can be downloaded from the japanese embassy website at www. Mofa.go.jp
