Very helpful. Such a friendly smile at the end 🙂 Thanks
Thankyou sir for the information😊😇
Clear, concise, no wasted conversation–good job!
We just returned from Japan trip few days ago and it was the busiest every where we go there are so many people. What made me feel comfortable was that many still uses mask everywhere, it’s like 95% of the people wears mask. One can choose for themselves if they want to wear a mask but I have several friends getting sick during their vacation with Covid or when returning home, so we just decided if it’s indoors and we are not eating we wear a mask.
But how about if we don’t have complete vaccine is it possible that we can fly to japan?
Thanks for your video. Very helpful
Your explanation is clear and useful for me to understand the updated situation in May 2023!! Thanks a lot for effort!!
Hey just a heads up: you have your passport credentials in this vid. Not sure if they were fake or not but if they weren't you gave enough information to steal your identity.
Hi Mike, I'm travelling to Japan later in the year. This video was super helpful. I have some questions I hope you can help me with..!
I was wondering, does the 'intended period of stay within the country' include flight time to and out of the country? Also, how strict are they with 'the number of people you're travelling with'? I'm travelling with friends on the way there, and then halfway through the trip, I'll be travelling solo and returning on my own.
Kind regards
thank you! very clear and helpful.
Hello, I would just like to confirm. Even if you are not vaccinated you do not need a Covid test to enter the country
I tried many time to enter email and password its always invalid my password? Can you help me sir😢😢
Excellent vid, love your work!
Hi Mike! Thank you for a well-put-content related to traveling to Japan. How soon do we sign up for the Visit Japan Web prior to entering Japan? Arigato Gozaimasu🙏🏻
ty very much, so useful!
Thank you very much, it was very helpful 🙏
Hi, I am travelling with my 9yo daughter and have filled up her details as well. Do I need to declare Disembarkation card for her and customs declaration ? Is it one declaration per family ?
Hi! I’m travelling with my husband and 15yo Son. Do they also need to create their own VWJ account? Or I can use mine and just add them to the list of ‘Family travelling with me’?
what about airport transfers from NRT to HND? Do I just enter HND address? Wife already has transfer visa which we entered.
Thank you!
Tax free?
What about the Japanese nationals do they also required to register?
Excellent Guide for Visit Japan Web! Thank you. My question: Do my son and his wife qualify as 'family members'? Or, since they are adults, should they register independently? I'm just trying to save them time, since they both work full time. Thanks.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS SO HELPFUL!!! 😭🥺👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
So if I understand correctly, it is no longer mandatory to use it, right? I can travel to Japan without filling anything out.
It would just be faster to get through customs when i enter japan or when i want to shop tax free, correct?
Very useful information. I will certainly take advantage of Visit Japan Web for our upcoming trip in September. Just one quick question. Will they stamp my passport on entry? I will need a stamp so that I can collect our JR Pass. Thanks. Great channel. Subbed.
Should spouses open separate accounts , or should they be added as family members traveling with you ?
Thank you for the video!
Your content is soooo good. Please do visiting Japan winter edition. Thanks
Hello, I just want to make sure if it's a big deal if I register only the first hotel I stay in, at intended place of stay 🙂
Hello Mike, first and foremost thank you for this video it was very helpful. I should have watched it in entirety before making a mistake 🤣🤣🤣.
With that said, I will be traveling to Korea but first spend a few days in Japan. 2 questions I hope you can help me out with.
1). I know I cannot edit the “Your Detail” section. That’s where I made a mistake. I selected yes to the visa because I have a visa from the United States. That section meant a Japan visa correct? Would that be an issue?
The 1st question was so long I forgot the other question hahahaha
Thank you for this! I was feeling stressed out by having to do this.
Thanks for the INFO, i don't really need it, but i will fill it all out just the same ! 8th and final trip.
Hallo, thank you for your videos. Am finding them very useful.
There’s no option to register a disembarkation card for my daughter. Should this be the case?
Nice guide, would you know how soon we can register?
