Hi~ i have read from the section of eligibility, for residents in those countries not listed, they need to obtain the temporary visit visa then only qualify to turn in XO for JR pass.
Malaysia is not in that list. Im from Malaysia and currently malaysian entering japan for short stay doesnt need to apply for visa as long as having the microchip on the passport.
Therefore would like to double confirm that the imigration officer will stamp the 'temporary visit' on my passport right? And i can turn in the XO for JR pass at japan even i dont have the visiting visa??
