Japanese Honorary Consulate in Madison

This is an honorary post. It supports Japanese residents and cultural work in the area, and it cannot issue a passport, a visa or a notarised certificate. Japan states that limit plainly on its own consulate websites.

Wisconsin's honorary consul is in Madison rather than Milwaukee. Documents for the state are issued in Chicago.

What you can settle without going

Some of it never requires you to set foot in the building.

You can check whether you need a visa at all, because most U.S. passport holders do not for stays under 90 days.

You can fill in Visit Japan Web before you fly, which covers immigration and customs.

You can apply for the eVISA online if your nationality is not visa-exempt.
