    Visa & entry documents

    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Visa required
    ATA Carnet: check with organiser

    Citizens of more than 70 countries and regions — including the United States, United Kingdom, all EU states, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Singapore — enter visa-free for short-term business visits of 90 days (15 or 30 days for a limited number of nationalities).

    Japan does not accept ATA Carnets; exhibitors should ship demonstration equipment under temporary import procedures arranged through a Japanese customs broker and the organiser's freight partner.

    Official visa page

    Weather

    Late September into early October in Osaka is warm and humid, with daytime temperatures of 26–30°C and nights around 20–23°C. The city is in the tail of typhoon season, bringing 8–12 rainy days per month and occasional heavy downpours, before conditions turn drier and cooler through early October. Pack light breathable layers, a compact umbrella, comfortable walking shoes for the Intex Osaka halls, and a light jacket for air-conditioned seminar rooms and evening dinners.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Confirm mobile roaming or local SIM options for business visitors to Japan.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business cards and greetings

    Exchange meishi with both hands and a slight bow, and take a moment to read the card before pocketing it. Having cards printed with your name, title and company in Japanese on one side is appreciated at first meetings with Japanese suppliers.

    Tipping and payments

    Tipping is not practised in Japan; service is included and leaving cash on the table can cause awkwardness. Carry some yen cash for small purchases and reload an ICOCA or Suica IC card for trains, subways and buses.

    Punctuality and etiquette

    Arrive on time or a few minutes early for meetings and booth appointments, which are the norm in Japanese business culture. Keep phone calls off crowded trains, avoid eating while walking, and queue in an orderly fashion at stations and venue entrances.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: KIX

    Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Osaka; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.

    Visa

    Japan waives short-term visas for most international business travellers — US, UK, EU, Canadian, Australian, South Korean and Singaporean passport holders enter visa-free for up to 90 days and can attend PHARMALAB EXPO and hold commercial meetings without prior approval. Nationals of India, China, the Philippines, Vietnam and Russia must obtain a Short-Term Stay visa at a Japanese embassy or consulate: single entry costs about JPY 3,000 with 5–7 business days processing, and multiple-entry visas around JPY 6,000. Japan does not accept ATA Carnets, so exhibitors should plan temporary import procedures with a customs broker.

    Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).

    Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

    Trade-fair attendance and commercial meetings are permitted; paid local employment is not. Submit through the embassy or consulate covering your place of residence; an invitation letter or event registration confirmation strengthens the file.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 — Thursday 1 October 2026

    The middle day of the three-day run (30 September – 2 October 2026) combines full exhibitor staffing with the fullest technical seminar programme, and avoids both the opening-morning registration queues and the early pack-down that starts on the final afternoon. Buyers travelling only for meetings with Japanese laboratory, process and packaging suppliers get the most complete access on Thursday.

    12

    Book flights into Osaka for arrival on 29-30 September 2026, allowing a buffer before the opening day. — Landing the day before PHARMALAB EXPO - OSAKA 2026 reduces the risk of travel delays on day one.

    Request B2B meetings with target exhibitors and schedule them around your session list. — Agree meeting points at exhibitor stands in advance to keep the day efficient.

    3

    Check local transport from your hotel to Intex Osaka and arrange an IC transit card or taxi plan. — Osaka rail and metro links connect bay-area hotels to the venue district.

    2

    Pack business attire, comfortable shoes, business cards and any product literature or samples you need. — Late September in Osaka is warm and humid, with occasional rain, so pack accordingly.
