Japan’s recent move to relax restrictions on new entries by foreign nationals is a welcome development for those who have been anxious about when they can travel to the country.
Although Japan has basically imposed a ban on such arrivals since January, the government has now decided to open the border mainly to business travelers, international students and technical interns.
But since the government began accepting necessary documents for entries Monday, it has emerged that the process is not that smooth, as companies and organizations responsible for visitors have to jump through a lot of hoops.
