  1. This is horrible! The international standard is 2 jabs and most people in US and Australia only have 2 jabs. Japan – you are disappointing me.

  2. Ok so it means I don't need the MySOS app anymore for landing on November 10th but now I need to use Visit Japan Web ? I thought MySOS is still valid until the 14th

  3. I'm already booked for spring and I can't wait to finally go back! I kinda hope they drop some of the testing requirements before then but it's really not a big deal.

  4. “Could not connect to the network. Please use in a place where connection is good”. Is the error that I keep getting while registering to the VJW

  5. Had a lot of issues with passport upload process. In the end I skipped the upload to complete the rest. Review was fast, done within 3 working days!

  6. Wrong: Japanese STILL WEAR (LOVE) Masks because they are mainly "self-conscious" , shy or just do not want to wear makeup. it's like a comfort blanket for them. Besides some have awful teeth and dislike showing them. No lies here. Ask any japanese that lives there. It's non-sense really. Nowadays MORE japanese are leaving their damn masks behind as they see the foreigners not wearing them. Which is great. So just keep that in mind.

  7. Thank You for these informations. Indeed the completion of VJW Fastlane was hard work, took many hours and countless uploads of Passport images (where rejected for unknown reasons). Questionaire completion did not work on my phone, but finally on my computer. With status "Blue" active now I cant wait to visit Japan next week ! ❤⛩ 🗾

  8. Do I need the PCR test or can I just get the NAAT test since I keep reading that NAAT test is a PCR test. Why do they have to make restrictions so confusing?!!! PCR test take about 48 hrs while the NAAT is 2 hours, and the test window for delta is at most 72 hours before departure from the first embarkation point. Can anyone help?

  9. I AM AMERICAN I WAS GIVEN THE ONE-SHOT J&J VACCINE FOR COVID -19 CAN I STILL ENTER JAPAN AS OF THIS VIDEO? I ALSO GOT THE MODERNA BOOSTER

  10. This cannot be the 'Final Update' Japan entry video as the Japanese Government will eventually withdraw the lingering vaccination and PCR test requirements. This will happen before the year is out. 🇯🇵

  11. Do u think they will drop the 3 vaxxed rule by march next year ?

  12. vaccine cert rule is only updated on site airlines have not for japan travel ..there is a lot of disparity between the japan health site and airlines list of approved vaccines..

  13. What about vaccine documentation for children on the fast track app? Because my kids only had 2 shots, the form cannot be completely for them. Since they are exempt under me, do I use my QR code as proof for them during fast track?
