Can my bf enter Japan for vacation with a felony?

Question:


He has a burglary charge from over 6 years ago. I know the disembarkment card asks if you if you have ever been convicted of a criminal offense. We don't want to lie about it. And I know they will interrogate us when he checks yes.

Anyone else tried going to Japan with a felony?

We are in the USA

Answer:


Rather than ask here, it would be better if you were to telephone the Japanese Embassy and ask. That is what they are there for.

Typical Japanese bureaucrats! Still, I think you should persevere, demand to talk to somebody with authority, they cannot expect you to throw away an airfare on the whim of a minor official at the airport. The only way you will get anywhere is to make a fuss.
