Japan’s human trafficking visa
Manila Standard Today – With Japan tightening up…….Japan itself has not continued to accept a steady stream of Filipino performing artists considering its stricter visa …. Japan has drawn up measures to curtail human trafficking.
…artists can be issued visa to Japan by either passing any of the two requirements namely, two-year experience as artists in other countries or two-year college education on performing arts.
Japan’s “Entertainer Visa” is dead. Even my Iowa farmboy friend Brian was refused that visa category this week and he has a dozen movie credits.
The above visa “rule” of ‘two-year experience as artists in other countries or two-year college education on performing arts’ is only a guideline and in reality everyone but Tom Cruise is being rejected at this time. If you really are an entertainer (and not a hooker) and you want to apply for an “Entertainer Visa” to Japan, just wait until next year and by then things will loosen up .
