For Indonesian that wants to go the Japan, it is imperative that they register themselves and try to get Visa approval. Eventhough with E-Passport (IC Passport) that requires no Visa for Indonesian that wants to visit Japan, they are still needed to register before they fly to Japan.

Up until now the Visa Application Center is located in the Japan Embassy (for Jakarta). But now the Japan Embassy has appointed VFS Global to handle the Japan Visa Application Center which are located in Lotte Shopping Avenue Mall 4th Floor in Jakarta.

I was chosen to be their MC for the Inauguration of this new Japan Visa Application Center. It was quite interesting experience because the multi national guests (Ambassadors from various Countries, Media Partners, etc) made me has to deliver the inauguration sometimes in 3 Languages which is English, Japanese and Bahasa Indonesia. I think I will come here often in the future to apply my Japan Visa since lately I almost always go to Japan at least once each year.
