More than 10 countries such as Russia and Qatar to refuse entry of new foreigners April 22 5:12
Following the global spread of the new coronavirus, the government has decided to refuse foreigners from more than 10 countries such as Russia and Qatar. In addition, for countries and regions that are not subject to entry refusal, we plan to extend the deadline until the end of this month to suspend the effect of issued visas.
In response to the global spread of the new coronavirus, the government is taking measures to prevent foreigners from entering the 73 countries and regions with a high number of infected countries, such as the United States, Spain, and Italy, as a measure against waterfront.
Against this backdrop, the government recommends that the "Infectious Disease Danger Information" for Japanese people should be discontinued in the near future for Russia, Belarus, Qatar in the Middle East, and more than 10 countries such as the UAE. In addition to raising it to "Level 3", we have established a policy to refuse the entry of foreigners who have stayed there within the past two weeks.
In addition, in countries and regions that are not subject to entry refusal, measures have been taken to suspend the validity of issued visas, but the government plans to extend the deadline until the end of this month, and will continue to Japan next month. It is expected that the number of foreigners entering Japan will decrease significantly.
