Dear students and parents, hello everyone, I am your old friend Xiao Baijiang. Today I will explain the latest measures for entry in Japan. On September 26, 2022, the Japanese government issued the 34th version of the latest entry measures in Japan and announced that the measures will be started after October 11, 2022. The most exciting thing about the latest entry measures in the 34th edition is that Japan began to admit Chinese vaccines. Xiao Baijiang also shared it with everyone as soon as possible, and then many classmates came to ask me many more detailed questions. It is about to start officially tomorrow, and there are still many students who are confused. Let’s take a look at the details of the latest measures for entry in Japan. In fact, there are not many things that need to be prepared for everyone! Okay, I don’t talk much, let’s go~

The latest entry measures for Japan’s entry are as follows:

　　　1. Re-examine the restrictions on new entry for foreigners. For new entry foreigners who apply for the following (1) (2) or (3), the entry manager located in Japan will no longer be required to apply in the entry health confirmation system (ERFS).

　　(1) New entry personnel who stay for short-term stays (below March) for business, employment, etc.

　　(2) New entry personnel who stay for short-term stays for tourism purposes.

　　(3) New entry personnel who stay for a long time.

　　2. For all returnees and incoming people from countries and regions where Omikron (the variant of the B.1.1.529 series) appear, in principle, no entry inspection will be carried out. There is no requirement to be quarantined at home or accommodation facilities after entering the country, and there is no need to upload physical feedback during the quarantine period. You can take public transportation.

　　3. Modify the management of the number of people entering the country and no longer set the upper limit of the number of people entering the country.

In addition to the above main content, on September 30, 2022, the Japanese government further added the latest measures for Japan's entry into the country 34:

1, the lifting of visa validity

　　Visa issued before December 2, 2021 was once judged invalid by the Japanese government, but from 0:00 a.m. on October 11 this year (Japanese time), the validity of these visas has been re-recognized! As long as your visa has not expired, you can enter the country again using the visa issued before.

2. Re-implementing visa-free measures

　From October 11, Japan will resume visa-free measures for countries and regions that have previously recognized. Since mainland China does not belong to Japan's visa-free area, this measure is of no use to us.

3. Re-examine the new entry restrictions

lifts the new entry restrictions for foreigners. The specific changes are as follows:

　　① Stays for short periods of business and employment (below 90 days), short periods of stays for tourism purposes, and new entry personnel who stay for a long time no longer need to apply by the recipient in Japan in the entry health confirmation system (ERFS).

　　　② The entry of foreign tourists is no longer limited to group travel.

　　③ Entering the country with the purpose of "visiting relatives and friends" or "transit" will be recognized.

　　④ When applying for a short-term stay visa with the purpose of "visiting relatives and friends", the invitation no longer needs to sign the "oath matter".

4. For all returning and entering the country, they need to submit the vaccination certificate (3 times) published on the emergency use list of the World Health Organization (WHO) or the negative test certificate received within 72 hours before going abroad.

5, add airports with international flights

　Airs, ports, etc. that are not open to international routes will be restarted in turn according to future navigation reservations and after preparation is completed.

. The latest entry measures for Japan's entry are all over. Let's extract the information that is more useful to us international students:

　　1. New entry personnel who stay for a long time are no longer required to apply for entry leaders in Japan in the entry health confirmation system (ERFS).

　　　Commentary: Our "study abroad" visa can be stayed in Japan for one year, so after entering the country, the school does not need to apply for ERFS for us, which is equivalent to reducing the trouble for the school. We can fill out one less form.

　　2. In principle, all returnees and those who enter the country will no longer be subject to entry inspections. They do not require isolation at their own home or accommodation facilities after entering the country, and there is no need to upload physical feedback during the quarantine period. They can take public transportation.

　　　Commentary: It’s simple and clear. According to our students' feedback, the daily quarantine costs after landing are a considerable amount.

　　　3. The visa issued before December 2, 2021 has been valid again,

　　Commentary: In fact, many people who have obtained visas before 2021 have already gone to Japan, and those who don’t go to Japan have almost given up studying abroad. If you haven't given up yet, you can try restarting your study abroad plan.

　　4. For all returning and entering the country, they need to submit a vaccination certificate (3 times) published on the World Health Organization's emergency use list (EUL on COVID-19 Emergency Use List EUL) or a negative test certificate within 72 hours before going abroad.

　　Commentary: This is the most important one! Friends, please pay attention! Entering the country must submit one of the "3-time valid vaccination certificate" or "72-hour nucleic acid certificate"! The "effective vaccine" here refers to a vaccine that has passed the WHO review! Currently, 11 new vaccines for new crown have passed the WHO emergency use certification, including 4 in the United States, 3 in China and India, and 1 in the United Kingdom. The three models in China are:

　　① The recombinant new crown vaccine developed by CanSino Biologics Co., Ltd. g Visa . (CanSino vaccine)

　　　② Inactivated new crown vaccine Kerref, developed by China Sinovac China (a subsidiary of Sinovac Biotech). (Science and Technology Vaccine)

　　③ The inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine (Vero cells) developed and produced by Sinopharm Group China Biotechnology Beijing Institute of Biological Products

　　The three vaccines we get may be different, but they must be one of the 11 vaccines on the list. If the vaccine is given is another type, please prepare a "nucleic acid certificate 72 hours before going abroad" in time. Please note! It's "before going abroad"! ! Not "before entry"! ! It's not "before boarding" either! There are always friends who are wondering when I should do it. Is it clear now?

　　Xiaobaijiang Tips: "Effective Vaccination (3 times) Certificate" can be issued on WeChat's "International Version of Epidemic Prevention Health Code" function. The function of "View International Travel Health Certificate for Others" can also be used by others. As long as you have your own information, you can be issued. In fact, some friends have reported that this mini program is not very useful, so don’t worry if you can’t open it. If you are worried, go to the hospital to open the English version. You must follow the requirements (please refer to the picture below for specific requirements).
