Personalized travel itineraries for visa sponsorship

Under the new guidelines valid from September 7, Japan Ski Tours is able to provide visa sponsorship (an ERFS document) for non-escorted tourists when a custom itinerary is created.

On obtaining an ERFS document, travelers can complete a visa application according to the process determined by their passport country.

Here's how it works:

Here's what you get:

1. A customized personal travel itinerary emailed to you
   
2. An official ERFS (Entrance and Returnees Followup System) document produced by the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare
   
3. If you contract Covid during your stay in Japan, we'll be there to help you find a hospital and assist in navigating the medical system and any quarantine requirements
   
4. Certainty that you can come to Japan this winter
   

Here's what this doesn't include:

1. Any costs related to hotel bookings and fees
2. Travel insurance or any financial coverage if you contract Covid during your stay in Japan
3. Assistance with any changes to your travel itinerary
4. Any changes to the original information on your application. If any of the entered information is incorrect or requires adjustment, we aren't able to edit your application and will instead need to reapply from the beginning.

As required by the Japan Tourism Agency, visas can only be issued for travelers who have booked international flights and domestic hotels through JST. We are not able to sponsor visas for people who have not purchased flights and hotels through the booking system on the following page.
