The Embassy of Japan in Russia has updated its visa application process for Russian citizens. The most significant change is the requirement for applicants to prove their employment and income using original documents. For employed individuals, this includes certificates stating their salary or 2-NDFL forms. For individual entrepreneurs, an extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs and proof of income are now mandatory. The embassy no longer accepts printed statements from personal accounts or online bank extracts. All documents must bear an original 'wet' seal and signature of an employee.
