MANILA, Philippines – The Japanese Embassy in Manila has opened the acceptance of applications for individual tourists planning to visit Japan from October 11 onwards.
The embassy said it opened on October 4 applications for all types of visas, including for individual travel, visiting friends, and multiple-entry.
Registration for entrances, returnee follow-up system (ERFS), he said, is also no longer necessary while the requirements for visiting friends have been relaxed by removing the “written pledge” from the inviter.
The departure date for these visas begins on October 11.
Multiple-entry visas and APEC Business Travel Cards will be honored again starting October 11 as long as the date of travel is within the validity period.

Vaccines approved in Japan are as follows:
– COMIRNATY / Pfizer
– Spikevax intramuscular Injection / Moderna
– Vaxzevria intramuscular Injection / AstraZeneca
– JCOVDEN intramuscular injection/Janssen (In the case of the main series, one dose is considered equal to two)
– COVAXIN/Bharat Biotech
– Nuvaxovid intramuscular Injection / Novavax
– Covishield (manufactured by Serum Institute of India) and COVOVAX are considered the same as Vaxzevria intramuscular injection/AstraZeneca and Nuvaxovid intramuscular injection/Novavax
