Japan has finally re-opened to foreign visitors, but there are some procedures that have to be done when entering the country.
Time Out has posted an article on how tourists can pre-register their COVID documents to make the process easier.
I took a look at the English version of the Instruction Manual. Frankly, it seems like there is a whole lot of stuff to have to complete and, therefore, overly burdensome. Even registering on the site has a lot of stuff to do. Whomever is completing it, I hope they have a lot of patience.
The article begins with:
Japan is finally reopened to the world and tourists are able to come in and explore all the new attractions that have opened since the pandemic. Thankfully, Japan has dropped many of its entry restrictions, but still encourages travellers to prepare for their trip by pre-registering all Covid-19 documents before entering the country.
Previously, this fast track pre-registration was done through the MySOS app. However, as of Tuesday November 1, the pre-registration system has been changed to Visit Japan Web. You’ll only be able to use MySOS until January 13 2023 if your information was previously registered in the app. If not, you will have to submit all your documents through Visit Japan Web.
Travelers who don't pre-register at the website can do so at the airport.
