Japanese consulates in Connecticut
Connecticut is cut in two by county: Fairfield County goes to New York and the rest of the state to Boston.
Which Japanese consulate covers Connecticut?
The county line decides: Bridgeport, Danbury, Greenwich, Norwalk and Stamford are in Fairfield County and go to New York, while Hartford, New Haven and the rest of the state go to Boston.

Honorary consuls in this state
An honorary consul is a local contact point, not a counter: the post issues no passports and no visas and cannot notarise a document. For that you still go to the consulate general.

What you can settle without going
- You can check the office hours: most consular counters close at midday.
- You can check whether you need a visa at all, because most U.S. passport holders do not for stays under 90 days.
- You can fill in Visit Japan Web before you fly, which covers immigration and customs.
A single visit can often cover several services, so ask what else you can bring while you are there.
