Expired h1b visa stamping, valid h1 extn approval and valid Advance Parole for reentry to USA

Do I need transit visa for 16 hour overnight layover?

Hi Lavisha! You may be eligible for a Japan Shore Pass that would enable you to spend time outside the airport during a long layover.

Hi Swathi! If you are traveling to India through a third country with an expire visa, you need a transit visa in our opinion. However, it is recommended that you contact the airline for more accurate information.

Hi Abhishek! In our opinion, you don’t need a transit visa if you don’t exit the transit area of the airport.

I have a flight from Del to Tokyo’s Haneda landing at terminal 3 at 6 Am. The lay over is 10.5 hours and the next flight leaves from Tokyo’s Haneda Terminal 3 to SFO. Both flights are Japan Airlines ( landing and leaving from Haneda to/from terminal 3 ) Do I require transit Visa in this case ? I don’t wish to exit the airport .

Would appreciate your response .
