First temporary flight from Japan arrives in Vietnam after relaxation of entry restrictions 16:41 on June 25

A temporary flight to Vietnam will be operated for the first time since the governments of both Japan and Vietnam have agreed to relax the immigration restrictions on foreigners, which have been implemented as measures against the new coronavirus. A passenger plane arrived at an airport in northern Vietnam.

Regarding the immigration control measures for foreigners, which have been implemented as measures against new coronavirus infections, the Japanese government has a policy of gradually permitting mutual entry only to business persons in countries where the infection situation is stable, this month. On the 19th, we agreed to relax restrictions with Vietnam, which is also important for diplomatic strategy.

On the 25th, the first temporary flight to Vietnam operated after the agreement, and a passenger plane carrying about 150 Japanese expatriates and business travelers passed 4:00 pm Japan time, more than 150 km away from the capital Hanoi. Arrived at the northern airport.

Business people are required to have a PCR test and 14 days of quarantine after entering the country, so they will be transferred to a bus to the hotel where they will stay.

Extra flights to Vietnam are scheduled to operate on the 26th and 27th, and approximately 440 Japanese will enter Vietnam in three days.

On the other hand, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we are adjusting the entry of Vietnamese business persons and technical interns into Japan as soon as possible.
