According to media reports, the East Asian country will allow individual travelers to enter the country again from October 11th. From that day on, short-term visitors will also no longer have to apply for tourist visas.

Japan will make a far-reaching relaxation of the corona entry rules. Currently, the country only allows package tours and requires all visitors to have a visa to curb the spread of Covid-19. The number of daily arrivals is limited to 50.000. On October 11, 2022, the country wants to make entry significantly easier again. Apart from the compulsory vaccination - three doses are required - and a test, there are no longer any corona-related entry conditions. In addition, the above-mentioned upper limit of a maximum of 50.000 travelers per day will be abolished, as reported by reisevor9.de. The Japanese government is hoping to boost the economy through overseas tourism, taking advantage of the weak yen.
