Does airports in all countries need to apply for a transit visa? Canada's Overseas Chinese Times has included the requirements of various countries on the processing of transit visas.
Singapore
Theoretically, you do not need to apply for a transit visa if you do not enter the country.
In theory, Singapore does not need to apply for a transit visa without entering the country. Moreover, if you hold a valid visa from developed countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand , the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Switzerland), you can enjoy the 96-hour visa-free transfer facility (VFTF) for Singapore transit: leave the country and transfer to other countries within 96 hours or fly to Singapore from other countries to transfer.
However, there is a special situation: if you take a low-cost airline, and the dedicated terminal used by the low-cost airline does not have a special transfer procedures to handle the counter, and you need to go to the terminal of an ordinary airline after entering the country to handle the transfer procedures. However, some low-cost airlines can also purchase transfer services without having to apply for a transit visa.
The ten low-cost airlines that require transit visas are: AirAsia , AirAsia Indonesia , Jetstar AirAsia, Lion Airlines, AirAsia Thailand, Air India Express, Cebu Pacific Airlines, Flying Air, Scooter Airlines, Xinfeng Tiger Airlines.
Japanese
depends on the situation.
According to Japanese regulations, travelers transfer to Japan International Airport with valid joint tickets. If they do not need to stay overnight, they do not need to apply for an transit visa or other types of entry visas; if they need to stay overnight, they must decide whether they need to apply for an entry/transit visa depending on whether the airport is open 24 hours a day. (The only airports that are open 24 hours a day in Japan are Tokyo Haneda Airport and Osaka Kansai Airport.) So if the airport is not open 24 hours a day and must stay overnight, you must enter Japan, and you must apply for a transit visa.
