US residents , need Visa to Japan?.

I'm planning for a one week visit to Japan. Im a Colombian Citizen,but, I'm a USA permanent resident. Do I need a visa? What kind ? Thanks

You'll need a passport from the country you hold citizenship (Columbian Passport), when you come back to the United States you'll need to present your Green Card (Form I-551) for readmission.

Since Columbia has a general visa exemption arrangement with Japan you will not need a visa, but just your Columbian Passport. (plz double verify this).

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs page (
http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/02.html), Colombia does NOT have a visa excemption agreement with Japan. I gues you will have to apply for a visa in advance at the Japanese embassy or consulate in the US. Anyway, inquire there for the official responses.

Ok thanks I must of had an outdated list that had columbia on it.

If that is the case, then you do need a visa.

Hi i hold a passport from Trinidad and Tobago but i am US resident do i need a visa to Japan. Plz reply ASAP thank you

The link listed above still works and since Trinidad and Tobago isn't listed as having a Visa Exemption agreement with Japan, you have to get into contact with the Japanese embassy to get a visa. The fact that you are a US resident has no importance; it all depends on the passport you carry.
