Visit Japan QR Codes: Ensure easy-access at the airport
The Japanese Government has set up Visit Japan Web, an online portal for you to load up your required COVID-19 Documentation, and fill out all of your Immigration and Customs information in advance.
Once completed, this will allow you to use Fast Track (expedited travel lanes through Japanese airports).
We strongly recommend setting up a Japan Web account and registering all of your information before you fly, as this will save you time when you arrive in Japan.
Before Departure:
Create a Visit Japan Web account and register your user information before you fly. We recommend taking screenshots, or printing out copies of your completed information.
Obtain a valid vaccination certificate (if three doses have been administered) or a negative test certificate (if less than three doses, or unvaccinated)
Arrival in Japan:
Show screenshots or printouts of the three completed sections, or pull up the information within your Visit Japan Web account: Quarantine Fast Track QR Code, Immigration QR Code and Customs QR Code
