Japan (PR) visiting India — pick your passport

Permanent residency in Japan lets you re-enter Japan, but it does not by itself grant visa-free entry to other countries. The visa rules for your trip to India are determined by the passport you hold — not your PR status. Pick your country of citizenship below to see accurate requirements.

Notes for permanent residents

You travel on the passport of your country of citizenship — your Japan (PR) card is not a travel document for entry to India.
Carry your PR card on the return trip — it's required to re-enter Japan.
Some destinations recognize PR status in narrow cases (e.g., transit, visa-on-arrival eligibility). Check the destination's official source for confirmation.
