I will be going to Japan on mid Nov 2012..and having a self guided trip..
Can some Sifu help to answer my questions:

1. I'm a student and for applying the visa, how should I write the self explanatory letter? Any samples?

2. If Im staying at a couch-surfer home, how should I provide the details in the Japan itinerary (accommodation column)?
- I will be stay in hotel for 3 nights and couchsurfing for 4 nights.
Can I just write the hotel which I stay in the whole accommodation column. Or just provide the couchsurfer details?

3. Should I photocopy my IC or Birth cert? or both?

4. The itinerary not necessary to be provide in too details right?

1. Who will be funding for your trip. That's your main point.
They just need to verify that you've money to cover for yourself in the trip.
Say also that you'll be leaving when and coming back Malaysia when.
If your dad is funding you, better to provide fathers' bank acc statement and his employment cert
to strengthen your case.

2. Write details for all nights. Including the couch-surfer home.

3. IC / Birth cert should not be necessary

4. The form can be downloaded from the Japan Embassy site. Just fill in
the relevant details only. E.g Day 1 you go 5 places in Osaka, just write e.g "Visiting Osaka".

Hope it helps.

1. Actually I won a trip to Japan from TLC discovery. The organizer will cover my expenses up to 4days only, the rest I will need to pay myself. BTW I believe my saving is more than sufficient to cover the whole trip. So should it be mentioned in my letter too?

2. OK..noted.

3. When should I go apply the visa if my trip is on mid nov?

1. Yes, do mention that TLC Discovery will cover all your expenses. Maybe you can ask TLC to help prepare
a letter to the Japan embassy stating that they will cover all your expenses, signed by them etc. You can also
attach your bank statement, showing you got enough. Thing is how much is enough is not for us to say.

3. Nov, you can try applying Mid of September. The usual visa is valid for 3 months.
but you must have your visa 2 weeks before the actual trip.

Hope this helps.
