In an interesting turn of events, Japan is likely to lift the previously placed ban on individual tourist visa requirements. This will, most probably, come into practice in October.
At present, foreign visitors visiting Japan are required to book guided tours to get a visa to enter the country. This process is not only time-consuming but highly unappealing as well. But come October, things will hopefully change for tourists wishing to visit the country.
In November last year, Japan had an almost full ban on new foreign visitors to Japan. But this rule eased up a bit in March this year, which saw the Japanese government allowing completely supervised entry for business travellers and international students.
Recently, Japan increased the daily entry cap to 50, 000 from 20,000. Japan is expected to remove the daily entry cap altogether by October. The nation has also removed the compulsory pre-departure COVID-19 tests.
