Japan is open to free travel, and the Philippines is here to apply for Japanese visas and entry guidelines!

From October 11, Japan officially lifted the free travel restriction for more than two years, restarted free travel, and at the same time opened short-term visa-free measures in 68 countries or regions. The Japanese Embassy in the Philippines has also officially begun to accept free travel visa applications. Let's sort out the relevant information and common problems of applying for Japanese travel visa in the Philippines.

The materials required for visa application are as follows:

• Original passport

• ACR or other long-term visa pros and cons

• Bank deposit certificate (if there is running water can be prepared together)

• Personal Income Tax Application Form (Our Company Can Handle)

• Recent white background photo (4.5cm * 3.5cm)

A single period of validity is three months, the stay time is 15 days, the multiple round trips are valid for 3 years/5 years, and a single stay is 30 days.

Finally, you can travel freely without a visa! Common problems such as payment certificate, certified vaccine and MySOS App are sorted out as follows:

01. What vaccines are approved by Japan and whether nucleic acid is needed

Japan has previously announced that travelers with a valid vaccination certificate will no longer need to undergo nucleic acid testing when they go to Japan. On October 4, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan announced that China's Kexing vaccine, Beijing National Medicine vaccine, and Conshino vaccine will be included in the vaccine license list. This move will bring great convenience to Chinese students and tourists. That is to say, as long as three shots of Japan-approved vaccine are vaccinated, nucleic acid testing will be exempted when entering Japan. If you have not received the specified three doses of vaccine, you need to produce a negative certificate within 72 hours when entering Japan.

For the types of vaccines certified by Japan, please refer to the following information:

02. Do you still need a "Payment Certificate" to enter Japan?

9/26 Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced that it is not necessary to apply for a payment certificate to enter Japan after 10/11, and it is not necessary to apply for ERFS for business, sightseeing, short-term entry (within 3 months) and long-term stay in the country.

03. Do you want to download any App before entering Japan? 

Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare recommends using "Fast Track" to speed up entry quarantine procedures before entering Japan. You can use your mobile phone to download the "MySOS" App, register your account and password, and submit your passport, vaccination certificate and other information. After the examination and approval, a green or blue picture appears, which means that the procedure is completed.

04. new features of Japanese government Visit Japan Web

The Japanese government also provides an online entry registration service "Visit Japan Web", which can speed up entry procedures after registering entry information. The airports currently available are Narita International Airport, Haneda Airport, Kansai International Airport, Chubu International Airport, Fukuoka Airport, and New Chitose Airport. For details, please refer to the Visit Japan Web instruction manual. At present, Visit Japan Web does not provide quarantine function. It is recommended to use MySOS when entering the country, but the Japanese government may integrate MySOS into Visit Japan Web in the future.
