Visiting Japan in the coming years will be different and a little more complicated compared to today's times as the Asian country is preparing to introduce a new travel authorization system scheduled for 2030.
This new system is not much different from the one the United States of America uses for international visitors according to media reports.
Persons seeking to visit the United States of America are subject to using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization called ESTA which has been implemented as an anti-terrorism security measure.
The ESTA process is used to assess the eligibility of a traveler who wishes to visit the United States of America under the Vida Waiver Program before the person boards a plane with destination the American country.
Similarly, following a similar practice, the new program that will be introduced for those who wish to visit Japan named JESTA is intended to check people before travelling.
The JESTA program in Japan marks a departure from the easy and straightforward process that visitors from 71 visa – exempt countries have experienced fo years.
Historically, immigrants from visa-exempt countries have been able to make short-term visits without the need to present any visa documents.
The Japanese government has stated that the primary objective is to reduce the entry of illegal immigrants who come from visa-exempt countries and who stay beyond the deadline.
With the advent of JESTA, travellers coming from abroad will therefore have to declare online the purpose of entry and the place of stay so that immigration officials can review them before taking a flight to Japan.
