Registration of Indians at the Embassy of India,Tokyo

The Embassy of India in Japan would like to reach out to as many of our compatriots as possible, especially to share information about our activities, visits and events. Also, given the current situation, the Embassy also needs to be in a position to contact members of the diaspora in case of emergencies, whether natural or man-made.

Today, we are launching an effort to collect such basic data, with help from all members of the community. We would request you to please register yourself and all members of your family at the link https://www.indembassy-tokyo.gov.in/RegisterFormNri, and also encourage others in the community to do so.

NO other organisation or individual has been authorised to collect any personal data on behalf of the Embassy. Also, the data collected through the link below will be retained only with the Embassy.

Please provide as accurate information as possible, so that the Embassy is able to reach out to you in times of celebration and distress, alike.

Advisory to the Indian Community on Fraud Phone Calls

The Embassy of India, Tokyo would like to draw the attention of Indian Community in Japan about fraudulent calls being received by members of the community, especially Indian students and professionals, from unscrupulous elements using the name of the Indian Embassy and spoofed telephone numbers. The callers generally speak English or Hindi.

The method adopted by the criminals is often as follows:

Calls originate from many numbers, including 0332622391. While this is the registered Embassy number, these callers have been able to spoof this Sometime calls have no caller ID i.e. show no number.
Most often, the fraudsters claim that the call recipient has provided wrong or incomplete information to the Japanese authorities (or the Indian Embassy), and that if they do not transfer ‘penalty’ money immediately, they would either be sent back to India, or be sent to jail. They are in possession of personal details (usually through open sources like social media platforms), which lends authenticity to their claims.
In some cases, they have now begun to ask for money so that their names could be included for consideration in the Vande Bharat Mission flights being organised by the Government of India.

The perpetrators aim to – and are able to – cause panic and urgency, and demand that the fine or penalty needs to be paid through Western Union money transfer/purchase I-tune Gift Cards, through credit/debit cards immediately or else deportation proceedings would be initiated.

It is requested that in the event of receiving such calls, the number from which call has originated, date and time of call, contact number on which call was received and nature of demand or threat may be furnished to the local Police as well as Embassy of India, Tokyo at sscons.tokyo@mea.gov.in and mincons.tokyo@mea.gov.in (in prescribed format below).

3. It is reiterated that the Embassy does not call up people to ask for money
