| Who can buy a JR Kyushu
Pass? |
|
The JR Kyushu Pass is a special ticket that is
available only to travelers visiting Japan from foreign countries for
sight-seeing. You are eligible to purchase a JR Kyushu Pass if you meet
one of the following two conditions:
1. You are a foreign tourist
visiting Japan from abroad for sight-seeing under the entry status of
"temporary visitor" (  ).* Japanese living abroad cannot use this pass.
"Temporary visitor" entry status, according to
Japanese Immigration Law, allows a stay in Japan of 15 days or 90 days
for "sight-seeing, etc." If you apply for a "stay for
sight-seeing" when you enter Japan, entry personnel will stamp your
passport "temporary visitor". Only persons who have a passport
bearing this stamp can use a JR Kyushu Pass.
- Caution:
- Even if you visit Japan with an Exchange Order, to be
turned in for a JR Kyushu Pass, the exchange cannot be made unless
you have "temporary visitor" status; if you enter Japan
under any other official status, such as "trainee" or
"entertainer", you can not change the Exchange Order for a
JR Pass. Please note that according to strict interpretation of the
Japanese Immigration Law, "temporary visitor" status
differs even from other types of stays that are also for only short
time periods.
