Arghhh...its vey difficult to get Visa for travelling to Japan...
Lots and lots of procedure, my shcedule for Fukuoka trip would be 26/09/09 but due to the complexity of the procedure, everything is now being postponed till October.
If no Visa then, it would be hell for me when I arrived at Fukuoka airport. Some of them is not english(eigo) spoken, so imagine your life in an alien planet. I only know a bit of japanese language, (nihongo).
Hotel already booked, flight ticket booked, but...Visa... hahaha at least takes 3 to 5 working days for application and approval.. OMG ~~ could they be more efficient than this.
Visa application need more document than ever, this is becaused Japan goverment is now having a major issue with illegal immigrant which came to Japan to work and stay in Japan illegally. Their numbers is increasing day by day....
Its sucks...why because of them, we as the normal people need to suffer for all the paperwork and twisted procedures just for Visa application.
Just to share an offical information :- check this website for details, this is for Malaysia citizen....
