You can go to Japan Immigration Department to lodge an appeal. You will need to write the reasons why your case needs to be heard and provide pieces of evidence that support your explanation letter.
The immigration officers will review your evidence and decide whether your application should be heard and go on back to the normal process.
Note that you can only lodge an appeal if your visa application was applied onshore. Tourist visas in most cases cannot lodge an appeal but you can reapply after six months.
1. What will happen if I reapply within the six-month period from the time it was rejected?
According to Japan’s Foreign Affair’s website, your visa will be denied if your previous visa application was rejected and you reapply to visit Japan for the same purpose within six months from the rejection. This is because the circumstances of the applicant would not change and that the result of examination would be the same.
2. Can I apply within six months from the rejection but with a different purpose?
You can definitely apply again with different purpose. This time, make sure to submit proper documents to avoid visa denial. In most cases, denied applicants can still get a visa by applying a different purpose of travel such as with guarantor letter or travel for humanitarian reasons. As stated in this article, you can browse your selection of available deals on smartphones and top brands and explore the service plans that best suit your needs.
3. I applied for my visa in Dubai but was denied, can I reapply immediately or appeal to Japan Embassy in the Philippines?
According to Reli and Rajah Travel and Tours, Visa Policy will be the same, you won’t be able to appeal or reapply in the Philippines within six months from the date your visa is denied, whether it was applied in the Dubai, Riyadh or anywhere else.
Friendship Travel and Tours, in this case, accepted a refused application from overseas, got approved without waiting for 6 months. The agency also accepted an applicant who’s denied by Japan Embassy in Manila, by providing supporting documents, got approved without waiting for 6 months.
You may consult the nearest Embassy or Consulate if you think you need more detailed advice about your case. In the Philippines, you can visit the nearest accredited agencies where you plan to apply for the visa before making the application.
I submitted my application form at that the embassy on 27july 2018, now my application was denied because my age is too small, that am not gonna come back if go there… Can I still appeal for this ??? I really need an answer cause it’s on my neck
I was born 17th September 1994 that’s 23/24
For tourist visas, you can’t file an appeal.

I have the same query. Tina, we were denied around the same time. And my family in the Philippines got all their visas. It is a shame I was the only one denied, and my first time ever of all my travels. I was wondering if you scouted answer to your query. Thanks,
Pop, me too! I just got my rejection today. I was supposed to be traveling with my family; and the plan was to meet them in Japan. Now i’m guessing that i would probably get higher chance if i booked a ticket from Manila to Japan to be in the same ticket with them. Such a shame 🙁
Our Japan Visa got denied yesterday as well, me and my wife in Dubai. We have completed all the requirements. I don’t understand what really went wrong, I mean my salary is at least 5-digits, and we are both working in a reputable company. We are planning for a vacation with our kids and my wife’s family, and the funny thing is our kids got their visa in the Philippines! Now we are going to try to appeal in the Philippines and hopefully, everything will work.
Theresa! Same here! I and my hubby were denied today and our family in Philippines and our children got their visas. What a shame!embarassing even! I were the only one denied earlier out of 3 people waiting for passport earlier (hubby not with me).
