Hello everyone!

This is Mini, with Mini's hand-picked Japan travel stories!

As you prepare for your free-and-easy trip to Japan, the very first essential step you need to take is,

of course, Visit Japan Web!

Gone are the days of borrowing a pen on the plane

to fill out paper declaration forms.

Now, with just your smartphone, you can complete everything from immigration inspection to customs declaration

all in one go – it's an incredibly convenient system!

Today, even if it's your first time visiting Japan, don't worry!

I'll meticulously guide you through everything, from how to register for Visit Japan Web to how to add accompanying family or friends.

What is Visit Japan Web?

Visit Japan Web is

an electronic immigration and customs declaration system operated by Japan's Digital Agency.

It allows you to conveniently process immigration and customs declarations with a single QR code by pre-registering the immigration and customs forms that were previously filled out on board your flight.

By reducing the time spent filling out paper forms at the airport,

it has become an essential preparation for any trip to Japan.

Who Needs to Apply for Visit Japan Web?

Even if you don't pre-register for Visit Japan Web,

it doesn't mean you can't enter the country.

However, registering in advance offers great benefits:

✔️ Shortened immigration wait times

✔️ Simplified customs declaration process

✔️ Fast-track entry with a QR code

If you're planning a free-and-easy trip to Japan, I highly recommend registering beforehand.
