Re entering Japan

(Recorded on January 9th 2022) An all English video for all my fellow foreigners trying to enter Japan. I am in no way an authority on entry into Japan under the pandemic, so don't see me as being 100 percent factual or accurate. I'm just relating what I know and understand. ********I made a mistake in the video; I said MOFA was the one who rolled out the Certificate of Testing but it was actually the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare.******************* ----- For information on Japan’s updated travel restrictions, please see these websites: 1) Immigration Services Agency of Japan: Information Center https://www.isa.go.jp/en/consultation... 2)Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA): Border Enforcement Measures to Prevent the Spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) https://www.mofa.go.jp/ca/fna/page4e_... 3) Regarding the denial of landing permission to prevent the spread of COVID-19 https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/content/001... 4) Regarding Corona Measures Taken by Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare (scroll down for English) https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/seisakunit... 5) For Returnees and Entrants from Overseas https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/000871... 6) Spreadsheet Detailing Quarantine Time in Government Designated Facilities https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/seisakunit... (Note: 14 day quarantine is mandated regardless. However, within those 14 days, you will possibly quarantine in a hotel for 3,6,10, or all the 14 days depending on what country you came from. Scroll to the bottom of this page where it says 'attached table' and find your country/state. It should tell you how many days you have to quarantine in the hotel) ------------------------------------- Checklist of documents before coming to Japan 1) Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare: COVID-19 Certificate of Testing https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/000799... FAQ Page Regarding the Certificate https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/000825... (You MUST take your test in your homecountry within 72 hours of departure to Japan; I suggest taking a later flight if possible) 2) Written Pledge https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/000863... 3) My SOS App (if you have a Japanese phone already. Not sure if non Japanese phones can download it) 4) Questionnaire https://arqs-qa.followup.mhlw.go.jp/#/ (consider creating a shortcut to this on your phone's homescreen, as it can be accessed when you aren't online, too). Be sure to either print or take a screenshot of the QR code at the end. Good luck!
