In response to the spread of the mutated new coronavirus, which is said to be highly infectious in the United Kingdom, the Japanese government has temporarily suspended entry from the United Kingdom other than Japanese after the 24th. We have established a policy of tightening restrictions.
In the United Kingdom, the infection of the new mutated coronavirus, which is said to be highly infectious, has spread, and each country has taken measures such as stopping the acceptance of airmail from the United Kingdom.
Under these circumstances, it was found in an interview with the people concerned that the Japanese government has decided to tighten the immigration restrictions from the United Kingdom after the 24th.
Currently, entry from the UK is limited to Japanese and foreigners with medium- to long-term status of residence, but new entry from non-Japanese will be temporarily suspended.
If a Japanese or foreigner living in Japan makes a short-term business trip to the UK within 7 days, they will continue to be allowed to return or enter the country, but they will be requested to wait for 14 days, which is currently exempt.
In addition, after the weekend, we will require all people entering the UK from the UK to be tested within 72 hours before leaving the country, regardless of nationality, and to submit documents proving that they were negative.
