[IMPORTANT] Border measures to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19)  Updated

When entering/re-entering Japan from overseas, all travelers are required to comply with the border measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on the MHLW website below.

MHLW ” COVID-19: Current Japanese Border Measures”
https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/bordercontrol.html

• Those boarder measures are required for all travelers, both new entry and re-entry students.
• From October 11, 2022, the boarder measures for returnees and entrants arriving into Japan will be updated as following;
  
  • Entrants / returnees who have a valid COVID-19 vaccination certificate of three doses of vaccination which meets requirements of the government of Japan (https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/border_vaccine.html) will not be required to take a pre-departure COVID-19 test.
  • Entrants / returnees who DO NOT have a valid COVID-19 vaccination certificate will be required to take a pre-departure COVID-19 test conducted within 72 hours prior to departure from the original country/region and present its negative test result certificate when boarding their flight to Japan.
  • An on-arrival test and a self-quarantine will no longer be required except those who will have symptoms of suspected COVID-19 infection when they will arrive into Japan.
• Please be sure to check the latest boarder measures before your departure for Japan on the MHLW website above, since they are changed frequently.
