Yea the r/movingtojapan thread is full of people complaining about how the policies seem to give Japanese citizens a free pass while blaming the importation of new virus strains on misbehaving foreigners (whether or not that's true). They've fully blocked immigration (not tourists—legal immigrants) despite fairly strict quarantine and testing policies.
- tonfa 6y agoIs that unique to Japan though? (Had the impression that US hasn't been much better, and I'd guess Schengen as well at least to some level)

There is no single Schengen visa system- while holders of a visa for one Schengen country can travel freely within the area, the individual countries still have the choice to issue them. As far as I know most Schengen countries kept issuing long-term visas.
