Japan gradually relaxed its entry policy from March 1. From March 1 day, the upper limit of foreigners entering Japan will rise from 3,500 to 5,000 per day.
It is reported that the Japanese government began to accept visa applications online on February 25. Due to the large number of online applicants, the website was once unable to submit data.
Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare stipulates that relevant schools and enterprises that accept foreigners need to fill in the applicant's passport, quarantine location after entry and other relevant information online, and sign relevant commitment materials such as agreeing to implement epidemic prevention and control measures in order to obtain the "acceptance certificate" issued by the Japanese government.
The Japanese embassy or consulate in the country where the applicant is located will officially start the visa approval procedure after receiving the Acceptance Certificate and related materials submitted by the receiving unit.
I. Latest Requirements According to the epidemic situation and the requirements of the competent authorities, the detection method for people flying from Japan to China after February 28, 2022 (inclusive) is now adjusted to 1 PCR pre-detection 7 days before boarding, and 1 PCR detection in two different institutions within 3 days before boarding (the interval must be more than 24 hours, hereinafter referred to as "crossover").
The whole process of application after adjustment: ① Pre-detection of nucleic acid (PCR) on the 7th day before boarding → Self-health monitoring on the 27th day → Cross-PCR detection by different institutions on the 3rd day before boarding → ④ Obtaining all negative test results → ⑤ Login to the system to apply for health code →⑤Sign in.
Reference example: If you take the 10 flight on March 3rd, you must carry out 1 time nucleic acid (PCR) pre-detection, fill in the self-health monitoring form truthfully on March 3rd-9th (7 days), carry out cross double nucleic acid (PCR) detection on March 7th-9th, and submit the application code online before 20:00 on March 9th.
Two. Operating Instructions and Precautions (1) About the testing mechanism
Pre-trip inspection must be carried out at the inspection institution designated by the embassy or consulate in Japan. List of testing institutions designated by the embassy. According to the comprehensive service level of testing institutions designated in 202 1, the embassy recommended the first batch of institutions in annex 2 10. (For the list of inspection agencies designated by consulates, please visit the websites of consulates. )
Please note:
1. Some originally designated testing institutions have withdrawn, but their testing reports issued before February 27th, 2022 (inclusive) are still valid.
2. Cross double nucleic acid (PCR) testing must be carried out in two different designated testing institutions within the same territory within 3 days before boarding.
3. The detection institution that carries out the nucleic acid (PCR) pre-detection on the 7th day before boarding can be selected across the consular area, or it can be consistent with either of the two institutions that carry out the cross double nucleic acid (PCR) detection on the 3rd day before boarding.
The above-mentioned designated testing institutions operate in accordance with local laws and regulations, and have no economic relations with embassies and consulates in Japan, and their charging standards have nothing to do with embassies and consulates in Japan. Please know the charging standard, payment method and other information before choosing. The testing efficiency, working hours, whether to see a doctor on holidays and the way to make an appointment are different in each designated testing institution. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance for confirmation.
(2) Specific requirements for pre-trip inspection and health monitoring.
1. Pre-detection: nucleic acid pre-detection (PCR) will be conducted on the 7th day before boarding, and the time will be calculated as "flight date -7". For example, if you take the 10 flight in March, you must conduct pre-inspection on March 3.
2. Self-health monitoring: Self-health monitoring shall be conducted for 7 days from the sampling date of the pre-test, and the Self-health Monitoring Form (7 days) shall be truthfully filled out every day (see Annex 3 for details) until the day before boarding.
3. Cross double nucleic acid (PCR) detection: Two nucleic acid (PCR) detections should be conducted in two different designated detection institutions within 3 days before boarding, and the interval between the two detections should be more than 24 hours. For example, on flight 10 on March 7 -9, nucleic acid (PCR) tests must be conducted twice at two different designated testing institutions, with an interval of more than 24 hours.
4. Preventive measures
(1) All test results must be negative, and a unified test certificate must be obtained (see the figure below for the specific style).

1, code application steps
For the crew members who entered Japan after disembarking from Japan and plan to fly directly to China, please follow the following steps to apply for a health code.
Step 1: Perform nucleic acid pre-detection (PCR) immediately after entering Japan.
Step 2: The nucleic acid pre-detection (PCR) is negative, and the closed-loop isolation management shall be implemented for no less than 14 days, and the shipping company shall sign the Closed-loop Management Certificate for Crew Isolation (see Annex 5 for details). (If the nucleic acid pre-detection (PCR) is positive, please actively treat it according to Japanese epidemic prevention requirements, and then follow the "3.

2. Preventive measures
Pre-detection of nucleic acid (PCR) after entry into Japan does not need to be carried out in designated institutions, but it is necessary to provide a test report containing complete personal information, sampling method (only nasopharyngeal swab is approved), testing method, testing time and testing results.
3. Code application data
65438+ negative certificate of 0 times of nucleic acid (PCR) pre-detection+closed loop management certificate of crew isolation+negative certificate of cross double nucleic acid (PCR) detection.

Please upload the Japanese entry stamp when applying for the code.
Four. Important reminder 1. Doing a good job in foreign defense investment is of great significance for ensuring China's economic development, social stability and people's lives, health and safety. The embassies and consulates in Japan once again strongly appealed for "non-emergency, non-necessity, and no travel".
2. Not paying attention to protection after inspection and before boarding the plane is the main reason for the positive test after entry. We strongly appeal to the passengers to isolate at home after inspection, avoid high-risk behaviors such as eating out, partying and shopping, and prevent infection after inspection.
3. Please be sure to test the integrity, truthfully declare, and ensure that the submitted information is true and effective. Failure to truthfully declare or tamper with the test results as required, resulting in serious consequences, will be investigated for corresponding legal responsibilities according to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases and the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).
