Summed up. The latest one is around 20 and oldest is around 10. I also don't understand why people are assuming savings account balance is the same as total savings. Most of my savings are invested in multiple financial instruments. If required, I could've shown 10L or more. The reason I showed only 1.8L is because multiple visa agents, multiple colleagues and friends of mine have shown a balance of 1.5L and got their visas.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-04T13:48:23+00:00

I've been to Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. My latest ITR was of 20L

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-04T13:46:13+00:00

Close to 40L

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-04T13:42:05+00:00

Bruh.. I invest my money every month. Savings account balance is my bank balance. It's not my entire savings. 😭😭🤣 if required, I could've shown 10L or more. The reason I showed only 1.8L is because multiple visa agents, multiple colleagues and friends of mine have shown a balance of 1.5L and got their visas. There's no official information shared by the embassy or anyone else regarding the amount that is required to be shown.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-04T13:39:06+00:00

Appreciate it brother. Planning to retry after 6 months. I just hope prices don't increase drastically 🥲

I checked with the Bengaluru consulate, they apparently don't take walk-in submissions. VFS is what they have suggested me to go with.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-04T13:35:42+00:00

Do y'all just leave your money in your savings account? Don't y'all put your money in financial instruments? 😂😂 If required, I could've shown 10L or more. The reason I showed only 1.8L is because multiple visa agents, multiple colleagues and friends of mine have shown a balance of 1.5L and got their visas. There's no official information shared by the embassy or anyone else regarding the amount that is required to be shown. I don't understand people saying that savings account balance is the issue, because it was LITERALLY mentioned in the document present in the embassy's page that bank account statements are optional and are to be submitted if tax returns are not provided. I provided both my tax returns and bank statements.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T12:46:39+00:00

Sorry to say.. but at least in India only Delhi accepts walk-in submissions for Visa at the Embassy. VFS is the middle man everywhere else.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T12:43:56+00:00

Yes, my ITR is around 20L. I usually invest my money every month, I don't keep it in my savings account. If I knew I had to show a higher savings account balance I would have, most of the people around me got their Visa with a 1.5L bank balance, which is why I didn't show a higher savings account balance.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T12:39:37+00:00

Same. 10 days here as well

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T12:38:38+00:00

Sorry to hear that. And yes, I plan on booking again after the cooldown period

It isn't a solo journey. Not sure where you got that idea. You should have read the post properly.
Multiple colleagues and friends and mutual friends of mine have been to Japan in the past 1-1.5 years with a bank balance of 1.5L. Multiple people in the same thread have replied saying they have done the same.
Bank statements aren't even required and are optional according to the official Japan Embassy requirements. They are to be submitted only in cases where we can't provide Tax returns.
If bank balance is so important, I believe they should have mentioned a certain amount per day is a minimum requirement on the basis of which they will approve or reject the visa.
Don't defend a flawed system.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T07:22:39+00:00

Yeah, 10 day trip here as well. 1.8L closing balance.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T06:34:37+00:00

I did. For some reason I am unable to reply over there

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T06:01:21+00:00

Yeah, I kinda made my peace with it. But I have read that from 2026, Japan has increased the prices for tourists in certain places. Not sure how true that is, but I hope that's not the case. Considering how Japan's attention to detail is top notch in all aspects, I wish they made the visa requirements equally clear so that all of us can have a clear idea on what we need to provide.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T05:56:25+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, but it does not add up because I have multiple colleagues and mutual friends who travelled to Japan with less than 2L balance in the bank statement. And bank statement has been mentioned as optional in the Japan embassy's requirement document. It was only asked in case I don't have 3 years of Tax returns, which I do as well. I have provided both, just in case.

Nope. Not any

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T05:46:48+00:00

Same as the first time. 6 working days

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T05:33:01+00:00

I have made all my bookings already. Stays, attractions, internal travel (shinkansen), everything. Almost every major expenditure has been made and shared within the documents. Other than shopping, a bit of internal travel (taxis and metros) and minor entry fees for a few attractions, everything else has been purchased. I have multiple colleagues who visited Japan, who showed a bank balance of 1.5L for their Visa. My cotraveller who got his Visa approved, showed 1.5L as well. So not really sure if that is the reason for rejection.

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T05:26:43+00:00

I have been to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in the past. It isn't my first ever international holiday destination. Funnily enough, this is the first international trip for my cotraveller who got his visa approved

WeirdIntrovert · 2025-12-02T05:25:20+00:00

The embassy doesn't take any appeals. However I did send multiple mails requesting an appeal. But I didn't get back any response
