The Embassy of the Land of the Rising Sun has recently begun to impose new requirements on visa applicants from Russia. Such observations were shared by representatives of visa agencies that help to issue entry documents.
If the Japanese consuls see that the tourist has presented a statement from a foreign bank, they ask to confirm that it is the applicant who owns the card. To do this, they ask a person to record a video with an open personal account of the bank.
It is difficult to say what such scrupulousness is connected with. The presence of foreign plastic is not a prerequisite for the approval of the application. With the same success, visas are issued to those who confirm their solvency with the help of extracts from any Russian credit institutions.
In general, according to experts from visa agencies, Japan remains loyal to the Russians. Visas are approved by almost everyone, even after they ask additional questions or ask for video confirmation.
