Regulations of the Ministry of Justice

In accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Justice, in the event of abusive language (insulting), assault, intimidation/threatening, throwing objects, or exerting undue pressure on the visa receptionist, visa issuance may be restricted for up to three years. It also applies to cases that interfere with legitimate visa work, such as solicitation, requests for special permission, and priority review requests.

In addition, visa issuance may be restricted for up to three years if it is confirmed that false information is stated or written in the Visa application process, false documents are submitted, or it is confirmed that the subject documents have been forged or altered. 

Please be aware of the above and be careful not to be disadvantaged when applying for a visa.
