Why this verdict
Japan does not waive visas for ordinary Saudi passports, but the official JAPAN eVISA route is broadly available to applicants who reside in Saudi Arabia. That makes this corridor genuinely eVISA-first for the usual Saudi-resident tourist case, while still remaining a visa route rather than a visa-free one.
