There had been no requirements for such documents for foreign nationals returning to Japan. The requirements were set to be imposed on all non-Japanese residents from Sept 1. They are in contrast with requirements for Japanese nationals, who are able to return without submitting pre-entry COVID-19 testing results. Last week, the government agreed to allow all foreign nationals who left before April 3, when it first imposed entry restrictions, to return to Japan from Wednesday. However, all people entering Japan must undergo PCR tests upon arrival and are required to self-isolate for 14 days.
