03 The early declaration of the entry recipient has been cancelled
At present, foreigners entering Japan need to report in advance on Japan's Immigration Health Confirmation System (ERFS) in advance, and only after obtaining the confirmation documents can they be allowed to enter.
After October 11, the system will be officially offline. In other words, if holds a long-term visa, such as study abroad, work visa, business management visa, and senior talent visa, you can enter the country directly and no longer need to go through the visa procedures.
In addition, the previous restrictions on tourists who had to "join groups" or purchase "group tour packages" were also cancelled.
04 Other measures
In addition to some of the above important policy changes, some other entry policies have also been updated, including:
restores visa-free short-term stay policy and personal free travel in 68 countries;
cancels the limit on the number of 50,000 people entering a single day;
Attacks in Japan, where international flights are not currently open, will be resumed one after another after they are ready. Currently, there are only 10 airports in Japan that can accept international flights.
Not long ago, Japan also reported that due to the depreciation of the yen, foreigners who had previously traveled to Japan showed their true nature of "explosive buying". From animation peripherals, to luxury goods, and even to high-end apartments, many people directly buy them in full.
According to the head of e-commerce in Hong Kong and Taiwan in Ctrip, the top five flight destinations are: Tokyo, Bangkok , Seoul, Singapore and Osaka ; Japan accounts for the second.
, especially Tokyo and Osaka, also saw the largest increase in flight orders, soaring 680% year-on-year from the previous week. It can be seen that after the relaxation of epidemic prevention and port measures, Japan will undoubtedly become one of the popular goals of international tourists.
Experts believe that Japan's GDP in 2023 will be pushed up by 0.74% compared with the previous relaxation (based on the quarterly annual growth rate), which will effectively support the economic recovery in various parts of Japan.
Japan further adjusted its entry policy, which also provides convenience for investors to enter Japan. Especially the current exchange rate of the yen to RMB has continued to decline, greatly reducing the cost of investing in and buying property in Japan.
That is to say, RMB with the same value as can be exchanged for more yen .This means that the same investment immigration threshold is now lower overall cost, which is more "money-saving" for those interested in investing in immigrating to Japan.
The current yen exchange rate continues to fall, spend less money and do more things, and investors' profit margins will be further improved!
