Japanese government will announce the extension of state of emergency declaration , everyone wants to understand Japan's entry policy. Today, let’s briefly summarize Japan’s current entry policy and what needs to be paid attention to.
The most important part of Japan's entry policy can be summarized as the following table. (Performance on May 31, 2021)
*Enterprise conditions for entry: Negative examination certificate within 72 hours before going abroad, submit a question ticket, a pledge letter, undergo testing at the airport, and install the designated APPS
* can still be used by Foreign embassy or agents in Japan apply for a certificate of qualification for residence qualification (COE: certificate of eligibility) from the Incoming and Exit Administration Bureau as visa preparation materials, but Japanese Embassy in Japan is currently suspending the issuance of new visas.
*1584 COE: means adding 1584 with a red pen in the upper right corner of COE, which is equivalent to obtaining a re-entry license in actual use.
However, at present, the Japanese Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have not yet issued a unified policy on 1584, which is reportedly a flexible policy for some Japanese embassies and consulates abroad. For details, please contact the Japanese Embassy and Consulate.
Next, let’s talk about some of the most concerned and most frequently asked questions.
01
[Study Abroad Visa]
Japan briefly lifted the entry restrictions on the study abroad visa on October 1, 2020, but because the second emergency declaration was issued soon, the lifting period was not very long. Students who were unable to grasp that period of entry had to wait.
What if the visa expires during the return of the country or the re-entry license expires?
First of all, the Japanese government has not restricted the entry of students who obtain re-entry permits. If you obtain the "Re-entry Permit" at the airport, the validity period is 1 year, and there is no problem entering Japan within 1 year.
If the remaining time limit for visa ( stay eligibility ) is longer, you can even apply for "re-entry permit" from the Japan Entry Administration Bureau (note that there is no "みなし"), the maximum validity period can be up to 5 years. (If the visa is less than 5 years, the visa expiration period shall be based on the period.) Therefore, students who recommend a visa have a long time left and are planning to return home for a long time to apply for an entry permit.
What should I do if I have returned to China and my expiration of my visa on my stay card during my return?
The Japanese government has adopted a relatively accommodating policy in response to this. That is, students who have the above situations during their trip abroad can obtain a certificate of residence qualification certification (hereinafter referred to as COE) through the simple application of . materials are relatively simple. You only need to prepare the COE application form, the reason letter issued by the agency (school) (in a fixed format) and a copy of the old residence card. You can use an agent in Japan to enter the administration bureau or I applied through Japan to the residence hall. (Although you can obtain a COE, you are temporarily suspended from issuing new visas)
But here we also remind everyone to abide by school rules and teach well. You must also pay what you should pay. Don’t be cancelled if your school registration is lost. Everything is free from talks.(The above process is also applicable to the work visa)
02
[Permanent residence visa]
followed by friends who have obtained permanent residence qualifications. What should I do if the license to re-enter the country (or the permission to re-enter the country) expires during my overseas trip? Should we go back to the liberation overnight and start over again when we were cancelled, the permanent residence qualification that was finally obtained?
The current policy adopted by the Japanese government is that permanent residents can apply to extend the validity period of the re-entry permit (not the permission of re-entry permit) in a foreign residence, which can be extended by one year.
But I believe that there are a few friends who have worked hard to apply for a re-entry license in the country. Most of them have obtained a shorter validity period of "re-entry license in the country" at the airport. However, if you re-enter the country, it may not be postponed by Japan's residence abroad.
, but there is no need to worry. The Japanese government stipulates that who have obtained permanent residence can pass simple procedures after Japan lifts entry restrictions (the specific time has not been announced yet) after Japan has lifted the entry restrictions (the specific time has not been announced yet) Apply for a "Settled" visa. (This is not permanent residence) After obtaining the "Seter" visa, the airport entering Japan will change the stay qualification to "permanent residence".
(Why is it so troublesome, it involves complex legal issues. Because Japan's current entry law prohibits the direct issuance of "permanent resident visas", it is necessary to first use a settler visa to transition, but it does not affect everyone's permanent residence qualifications.)

03
[Residence qualification certification Certificate]
The third one is a friend who has already obtained a COE. What should I do if the COE expires during the epidemic? Do I need to apply again?
Generally speaking, COE is only valid for 3 months, and it will become invalid if you do not enter Japan within 3 months. However, due to the special circumstances, the Japanese government announced that the validity period of COE issued from January 1, 2020 to January 30, 2021 will be extended to July 31, 2021. If issued after January 31, 2021, the current validity period is tentatively set to 6 months. If the epidemic does not improve, the validity period will continue to be extended.
Finally, there are some supplements. Newly obtained a status qualification visa (residence in Japan by "identity", such as Japanese spouses, permanent spouses, settlers, etc.) are not affected by the above policies, and there is no need to worry about the inability to enter the country.
Also, if there are special circumstances (such as having children need care) and humanitarian reasons, you can explain your own situation to the entry management and obtain a permit to enter the country.
