1. Japānas pilsoņi ar derīgu Japānas pasi var bez vīzas ieceļot Latvijas Republikas teritorijā un uzturēties tajā līdz deviņdesmit (90) sekojošām dienām.

2. Atteikšanās no vīzām saskaņā ar 1.punktu nedod Japānas pilsoņiem tiesības ieceļot Latvijas Republikas teritorijā ar nolūku strādāt algotu darbu vai veikt profesionālu darbību vai citu nodarbošanos (ieskaitot darbību izklaides un sporta jomā ar mērķi gūt peļņu).

3. Latvijas Republikas diplomātiskās un konsulārās pārstāvniecības Latvijas Republikas ieceļošanas vīzas izsniedz bez maksas gadījumos, kad tās nepieciešamas.

4. Atteikšanās no vīzām saskaņā ar 1.punktu neatbrīvo Japānas pilsoņus no pienākuma ievērot Latvijas Republikas normatīvos aktus, kas nosaka kārtību, kādā ārvalstnieki ieceļo, uzturas un izceļo no Latvijas Republikas, kā arī citu kontroli pār ārvalstniekiem.

5. Balstoties uz valsts drošības, sabiedriskās kārtības un veselības aizsardzības apsvērumiem, Latvijas Republikas valdība var uz laiku pilnīgi vai daļēji atcelt visu punktu darbību.

Par minēto pasākumu ieviešanu nekavējoties tiek informēta Japānas valdība.

6. Latvijas Republikas valdība patur sev tiesības atteikt tiesības ieceļot vai uzturēties Latvijas Republikas teritorijā Japānas pilsoņiem, kas tiek atzīti par nevēlamiem.

Latvijas Republikas Ārlietu ministrija izmanto šo iespēju vēlreiz apliecināt savu cieņu Japānas vēstniecībai.
