What's the catch? Can anyone visit Japan without a visa? People of any country?
- hunterb123 4y agoNo just the countries that previously didn't need a visa.
- Wohlf 4y agoIt's only a return to the previous norm.
- karaokeyoga 4y ago"On Sept. 7, the government allowed those on nonguided tours who had booked their flights and hotels through registered travel agencies." ← is the "through registered travel agencies" portion dropped now as well? I couldn't discern that from the article.
- rippercushions 4y agoYes, independent travel will be allowed again.
- midoridensha 4y agoTo be technically accurate, to my knowledge it's impossible to enter Japan from any country without a visa. However, if you come from certain countries (basically any western country, plus various others), they will automatically give you a 90-day tourist visa when you land, so it's effectively "visa free". Otherwise, you have to apply for a visa and get that in your passport before you arrive.
- Markoff 4y agoEven if you don't need visa they can always ask for proof of funds, so nothing for budget backpackers.
