Japanese diplomatic sources have denied reports circulating in the Turkish press that Japan has halted the visa application process for Turkish citizens.
These reports, citing the "Embassy of Japan" website, claimed that Japan would begin requiring visas for Turkish citizens starting October 1, 2024, as a precautionary measure against rising asylum applications and illegal work.
However, Japanese officials have categorically stated that these claims are false and do not reflect the current visa policy for Turkish citizens. Japan has been grappling with an increase in asylum applications and illegal work activities, but these issues have not led to any changes in the visa requirements for Turkish nationals.
The confusion surrounding this matter seems to have stemmed from misinformation or misinterpretation of information related to visa policies for other nationalities. Japanese authorities are working to clarify the situation and ensure that accurate information is disseminated to the public. (ILKHA)
