Just an update on my visa.. if anyone interested.
Applied on Thurs - very simple. Fill in Form, Show bank account statement (make sure its Certified), Company Letter, Photograph 4.5x4.5cm with white background, Itinerary Plan.

They didnt want my hotel booking and Air Ticket confirmation, returned the copies to me  - so I guess they're not necessary.

Collected on Monday from Counter 5 - no need number , just queue. But was really quick, like practically 6 mins only. Best time to go collect is around 2pm as you won't need a number then.

Yay. I now have a Valid Japan Visa for 15 days only... going in Nov!

thank you for this new update. May i know is there any charge for the bank CTC statement?

what is the minimum $$  requirement for bank statement for applying visa?

AA going to Kansai liao? 

Wrong

Kansai International Airport are not Osaka Aiport.

Kansai Airport are Kansai regional biggest airport to replaced Osaka old International Airport.

Kansai mean Kyoto + Osaka + Kobe together. 

Now curret Osaka Airport are for Domestik flight only....it also call Itami Airport. Itami used to be Kansai Regional biggest airport and handle international flight until year 2000 replace by current Kansai Airport. 
So dun mess up Kansai Airport are Osaka Airport.

Just started eating my box of Tokyo Banana today. It's good.

Nop..you are not fly into Osaka..You fly into Kansai Regional.  From Kansai Regional you take taxi / Bus / Train into Osaka City.

if you say you fly into Osaka City ...you must landed on Itami AIrport only count you fly into Osaka.  Not Kansai Airport.

mid valley lor...i change most of mine there..

Sunway prymarid also got one ok wan..normally about 0.10sen more then the MV one..haha. LG floor under the escalator wan.

When there is a huge disparity between the Money Changer rate & Bank Negara, for sure using Credit CArd or even withdraw via ATM sligthly but not all outlet accepting CC lor.. such as eateries, tranportations & etc.. you still need cash..Withdrawal.. also need to be careful because chances of your bank card got rejected by foreign countries also high as what I experienced in Seoul.. Activated my Maybank foreign witdrawal and goto their ATM but failed!..lucky I bring US$ there..

lol, welcome back.

Remembered u saying about getting souvenirs for your colleagues, so what did u got?

i wan to know if travel alone, die die must prepared how much minimum money for this trip. Everything live and eat will be very budget cost...

how much??

Going to Osaka next year. Should i be concerned of the radiation level there?

"Collection of passport will be three (3) working days for Malaysian (subject to approval)"

If I submit on Monday, collection will be on Wednesday or Thursday? They will call us up?

Thanks, want to plan my journey to KL.

I'm going to Tokyo this coming 23rd. Will be applying for Visa next week.

AFAIK, it is not compulsory for Malaysians to have a VISA for <30 day visit right?

Also i notice that i have to send in our itinerary to apply, but we are like a rambo group, go there only decide. So i should just add some random mambo jumbo?

Are flagged down taxis cheap to use? When I see airport -> city rates, I pengsan. 

Are they big enough for 2 or 3 big luggage bags?
