Residency Visa-free stays Japanese United Kingdom
Do Japanese citizens need a visa for United Kingdom?

No. Japanese citizens can stay in the United Kingdom for up to 180 days per visit without a visa.
Residency counts your days
and warns before you run out.
How the days are counted
The limit applies to each visit. Leaving and coming straight back does not guarantee a fresh allowance, and a pattern of back-to-back stays can be refused at the border.
Staying longer than a holiday?
Visa days are one count. Long stays can also start a tax residency clock. See how Residency tracks tax residency.
Entry rules change, and border officers have the final say. Confirm with the United Kingdom's official immigration site before you travel.
