Good news: Japan opens its doors to allow TTS to enter from March 1, 2022

Recently, the Japanese Government has announced to reopen entry for many cases, including Trainees, from March 1, 2022.

According to Nikkei, the Japanese government will gradually relax the entry of foreigners. Starting from the end of February 2022, the Japanese Government will allow entry for short-term work visas, business, and international students who are about to finish their courses and need to attend graduation ceremonies.

The Japanese government has issued a notice to allow mass entry from March 1, 2022.

It is expected that the number of people entering the country will be limited to about 1,000 people per day in the first phase, and then gradually increase in stages.

Next, by March 1, 2022 , the Japanese side will lift the ban on mass entry for foreigners ( including all types of popular visas that are being heated up ) . ). At this stage, the number of entry can be up to 5,000 people/day. Priority subjects for entry consideration during this period are researchers, engineers and workers who bring "benefits to the community".

In addition, the Japanese Government also gave consideration to the quarantine period for people entering the country. Accordingly, the isolation period will be shortened to 3 days or less than 7 days.

The Japanese government will consider shortening the quarantine period upon arrival to 3 days or less than 7 days. To be eligible for entry, people entering Japan need to receive a booster dose of Covid-19 vaccine and complete Covid-19 tests. It is expected that entry procedures will be more simplified.

For entry cases who have had all 3 shots and come from a country considered not to have an outbreak, they will be exempt from quarantine. People entering from a country with widespread infection must be isolated at a government-designated facility for 3 to 6 days, depending on the infection situation in that country. 

In case of entering the country, having received 3 doses of the vaccine, they can be isolated at home.

From March, this will be reduced to 3 days. Particularly, those who have had 3 doses of the vaccine can be isolated at home instead of at a designated facility. The new entry of foreigners is allowed for business visas, international students, and trainees on the basis of supervision by companies and schools. Travel purposes are not allowed.

Previously, in November 2021, Japan strictly controlled and introduced border control measures after recording a case of Omicron variant. 

The ban on entry for a long time has made it difficult for many Vietnamese workers to pass the test, complete the language learning program, but cannot go to Japan to work.

With the news of Japan's recent reopening, the Trainees waiting to fly and their families are extremely excited. Because, after a long wait, the dream of working in the country of cherry blossoms is about to be fulfilled.
