From 31 July to 8 November 2026, passengers traveling to Japan for the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games or the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games do not need a visa if they have an Accreditation Card (ACR Card) and a valid passport.
Visa Exemption Periods
Asian Games: 31 July 2026 to 19 October 2026
Asian Para Games: 18 September 2026 to 8 November 2026
Passengers traveling to Japan for these events do not need a visa if they hold an Accreditation Card (ACR Card) and a valid passport.
Support Letter Provision
For persons who, due to unavoidable circumstances, were unable to receive their ACR Card before travel, possession of a Support Letter certifies that they are eligible to receive an ACR Card. Holders of this letter will receive appropriate assistance from the Organising Committee, including the issuance of an ACR Card, upon arrival at an airport in Japan, and will subsequently undergo the prescribed immigration procedures.
These do not apply to holders of an ACR Card displaying "AINAGOC" on a sky-blue background to the right of the photograph.
