Different requirements to visit Japan and Malaysia

-

This time I will write about the visa differences between Japan and Malaysia based on my personal experience. I visited both countries with more than a week. The first country is Japan, I visited the country within 2 weeks. Before going there, firstly I had to go to the Japanese embassy in Surabaya to apply for a visa. Notable, Visa applications may not be accepted, if all requirements are not fulfilled / incomplete. After the application is examined, if additional documents are needed, they will be requested later. Visa applications will only be processed at the consulate in accordance with their respective jurisdictions. then for the process of making a visa at least 4 (four) working days.


A few more things to note before you visit Japan from Indonesia such as you must have a valid passport and an onward/return ticket for tourist/business "visa free" stays of up to 90 days and your passport must be valid for the entire time you are staying in Japan, you cannot work on a 90-day "visa free" entry. Because "Visa free" entry status may not be changed to another visa status without departing and then re-entering Japan with the appropriate visa, such as a spouse, work, or study visa. After that, Japanese immigration officers may deny you entry if you appear to have no visible means of support. Also, all foreign nationals are required to provide fingerprint scans and to be photographed at the port of entry. Exceptions to this requirement include diplomatic and official visa holders, minors, and individuals covered under SOFA Article IX.2.


Unlike Japan, when I visited Malaysia for 5 weeks, I didn't need to visit the embassy first. Because I use a border run visa system. Many nationalities, one of them is Indonesia, do not require a visa for Malaysia for a stay of up to either one or three months depending on their nationality. For the vast majority of casual travellers, a three-month stay should be sufficient for a first poke around the country. If you need longer, do a border run to Thailand or Singapore and re-enter to get another one or three months. In this occasion I chose Singapore. 


When you enter the country you'll be stamped in for a stay of 30 or 90 days and this is referred to as a Social Visit Pass. If you do need a visa, Malaysia has three main types of visa that may be of interest to tourists visiting the country. A single-entry tourist visa, a multiple-entry tourist visa and a transit visa. The single-entry visa is valid for three months from the date of entry. Noteworthy, Your passport must be valid for at least six months. You must have at least one blank page required for entry stamp. Permission to enter and remain in Malaysia is at the decision of and discretion of the Malaysian Immigration Department.


Both countries are frequently visited for holidays. It is very important to find information regarding the requirements between these countries.

Suicidal Thoughts? Is It Just for Attention Seeker?

Nugroho Catur Pamungkas 40020519650091 Suicide is the act of intentionally taking one’s own life. The act of suicide is not actually the right thing to do. Because according to my religion, Islam, God has not permitted His believers to commit suicide in any of these ways. In Islam it is considered as a major sin, which is proved by verses of Holy Quran and Hadith. Allah says: “And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason.” [Qur`an 6: 151] Suicidal thoughts may cross the minds of people who are depressed, including me. Sometimes someone who wants to commit suicide tends to be described as an attention seeker. Whereas someone who has thoughts of suicide are needed someone to talk to and also they’re need the support.   According to healthline.com , there are warning signs that someone may attempt suicide:   talking about feeling hopeless, trapped, or alone saying they have no reason ...
