Japan Is Opening Back Up For Solo Travel Soon Oops, There Goes All My Annual Leave

Japan has announced it’ll reopen its borders to individual travellers and allow visa-free travel so BRB, I’m about to sling all of my leave on a cheeky four-week holiday. The country has had strict entry requirements since the pandemic began two and a half years ago, making it difficult for tourists to scoot on over. It did loosen up restrictions earlier this year — but tourists had to travel as part of pre-packaged tours and also apply for visas. Now, Japan will be scrapping those two measures and its daily arrival cap of 50,000 people. Before the pandemic, Japan offered visa-free travel for more than 60 countries, including Australia. The main remaining requirement to enter the country? You’ll need to be fully vaxxed. I’ll be making like Scott Morrison and avoiding work by booking a flight to Japan
