| Aug 5, 2014 at 16:12 | comment | added | Aditya Somani | Intersting, this is a great question. I believe you are talking about this? atlanta.us.emb-japan.go.jp/transitvisa.html Unfortunately they have been using non standard terminology here, but let me investigate more. | |
| Aug 5, 2014 at 16:09 | comment | added | Aditya Somani | Japan doesn't need transit visa for layover. A layover involves you not leaving the airport. See travel.stackexchange.com/questions/9027/…? | |
| Aug 5, 2014 at 16:08 | comment | added | TravelBub | Thanks for the Reply and i do know regarding I20 and F1 Visa part but in Japanese Embassy they say that we just require Transit Visas for layovers, but if its more than one night stay you need show your bank statement it seems. | |
| Aug 5, 2014 at 16:02 | comment | added | Aditya Somani | As far as the documentation part of your question goes, yes you must carry your I-20 with you and the since you'll be carrying your passport, the visa will be there of course. Also, there is no immigration while exiting the US, so this is not required to "exit" the US but is required to "enter" it again. Your F-1 visa is not valid without the I-20 and you will not be allowed to re-enter the country without it. | |
