Before you begin your student life here, you will need to prepare for various procedures. In this section, you can find details on the necessary immigration procedures related to current border control measures for COVID-19 in Japan. Please read through the following information and prepare the documents required upon your arrival. For other general information about immigration procedures, see Pre-Arrival page.
Currently, the following procedures are required for foreign travelers entering Japan for the first time. These measures may change depending on the state of the spread of COVID-19, therefore, we ask you to stay up to date with the latest information before entering Japan.

You will be contacted by your school/graduate school with information about when you should arrive, so please decide when to travel to Japan based on this information. You will need to decide the date of your arrival based on, for example, the timing of your move in to the university dormitory, so please keep in touch with the person in charge at your school/graduate school.
Entrants are, in principle, not required to have an on-site COVID-19 test at the airport and are not required to quarantine after arrival. However, those entering Japan with suspected symptoms of COVID-19 infection will be tested upon arrival. Those who test positive will be required to quarantine at a designated quarantine facility as indicated by the head of the quarantine station.
Currently, due to the increased number of passengers entering Japan, quarantine procedures at the airport may take more time than expected depending on the time of arrival.
Entrants are responsible for any extra costs incurred in the case of missing any public transportation reserved in advance because of quarantine procedures, etc. after arrival.
For those arriving in the evening or later, please plan in case of delays, such as making a reservation for staying a night near the airport.
