There is a possibility that Japan will lift the ban on individual tourist visas. In October, this will most likely become a reality.
Currently, foreigners visiting Japan must book guided tours to obtain a visa. In addition to being time-consuming, this process is also highly unappealing. Come October, tourists wishing to visit the country will hopefully have a better experience.
Almost all foreign visitors to Japan were banned in November last year. In March this year, the Japanese government relaxed this rule by allowing foreign students and business travellers to enter completely supervised.
The daily entry cap in Japan was recently raised from 20,000 to 50,000. By October, Japan is expected to remove the daily entry cap completely. A mandatory COVID-19 test has also been removed from the nation’s pre-departure program. Read Also: Top 10 Reasons to Visit Japan
Short-term travelers from several countries will also be able to enter Japan visa-free. The old visa rule allowed people from 68 countries to stay in Japan without a visa for 90 days. It is expected that the country will resume this rule in October. Currently, it’s unclear which countries are listed.
With the Japanese yen weak, this new visa rule came at the perfect time. Visitors will have greater purchasing power when the Japanese yen is weak, according to the government’s vision.
