Japan on March 1st has raised entry ban related to COVID-19 on international travellers. The country has also raised the maximum daily number of entrants from 3,500 to 5,000.
From now on, nationals of other countries can visit Japan for business purposes, as well as students, technical interns and others. Nevertheless, foreign tourists will still be denied entry to the country.
If the entrants meet certain conditions, the mandatory self-isolation period has been shortened. In reality, for seven days entrants will still have to isolate them at home or a designated facility.
However, on the third day, their isolation period can end, if they test negative for the virus.
Those who visit Japan from countries that are not designated as ones experiencing epidemics are excused from the mandatory self-isolation, if they have received three vaccine shots of COVID-19.
To quote Chief Cabinet Secretary, Hirokazu Matsuno, of the Japanese government, “will gradually increase the international human traffic in view of both the domestic and overseas infection situations, the trend of demand for entry, including among Japanese nationals, quarantine systems, among other issues.”
In late November 2021, Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, had stopped foreign nationals from entering into the country Japan due to the concerns over the highly infectious Omicron strain of the novel coronavirus.
