Is it ok to apply for a Japanese visa in the United States, return to China and go to Japan?

This situation cannot be handled, because the customs has entry and exit records, and if the logical time of information found by the customs when leaving for Japan does not match, it will not be released.

Visa is the approval of foreign citizens' entry by the relevant departments of a country's government. It is usually affixed to or stamped on citizens' passports in the form of labels or seals. It is only issued in a limited number of cities, such as the embassy, consulate or its authorized visa center. In China, it is usually located in Beijing and several other major cities, such as Shanghai and Guangzhou.

If Japanese citizens need to travel to Japan in the United States and are temporarily unable to return to China, they can apply for an entry visa to the United States at the Japanese embassy or consulate in the United States with valid passports and visas. This situation makes it easier for short-term tourist visas to be approved. If it is a complicated visa, such as studying abroad, working, immigration, etc. Generally, the other party will ask the applicant to return to the place where the passport was issued (that is, China) to apply. Because in addition to the long procedure, it also involves complex quota issues and some standards mastered by embassies and consulates in China and Japan.

In this case, the applicant should contact the embassies and consulates in China and Japan. If the other party accepts the application and related materials submitted by post, it is not necessary to return to China in person. It is common to mail applications abroad.
