This blog I am writing,
This time it's a bit of an extra edition.
To be precise, summer 2022-2023
Regarding the coronavirus situation in Europe
As far as we currently know
I will try to write it in my own way.
I'm going on a business trip to Europe soon
For those planning to travel abroad
I hope this is helpful.
To put it bluntly
In Europe, it's called the "Corona Finish"
That's the impression I get.
Regarding entry into and internal travel within Europe
There are no special regulations,
The entry process is similar to that before COVID-19
It seems that this is the case.
actual,
When I entered Italy in May this year,
It's a disability specific to coronavirus,
I don't think there were any barriers.
As of 2022,
I have visited Italy and
In France, where I plan to visit soon,
The regulations have been relaxed significantly.
Until last year, proof of receiving the coronavirus vaccine was
It was necessary to carry and show it,
In France, that too seems to have disappeared.
(For the latest entry restrictions and information,
Japanese embassies and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare websites in each country
Please check)
Also,
From Ukraine and Russia
There are restrictions on entry into the country ,
If you are also involved, you should check this out.
By the way,
I personally love Poland
(Eastern Europe, neighboring countries of Germany)
I have the opportunity to visit
When I looked into it,
In Poland
There are no longer any special entry restrictions.
And even if a person tests positive for coronavirus in Japan
There is no mandatory quarantine or hospitalization.
In this way,
Regarding immigration, " it's pretty much back to normal.
" It is becoming "
It's like the situation when you enter Europe.
(*Entry and domestic restrictions regarding COVID-19
Even within the EU, it varies from member state to member state.
When you actually travel,
Please contact the Japanese embassy in each country in advance.
Please check the relevant websites for the area you are visiting.)
On the other hand,
Now that I've left the country, I'll return someday.
What is the current state of border control measures in Japan?
This is
" Proof of a negative PCR test result before departure "
If you can do this, you will generally be able to enter the country.
vice versa,
Before returning home, if you cannot prove that you are negative,
You may not be able to leave your country of origin.
Also,
PCR test before departure
received within 72 hours of the flight departing from the destination,
There is a specification that
It is not a good idea to take the test too early.
The speed at which test results are available
It depends on the inspection period.
(2-3 hours to up to 24 hours)
When and where to take the test
Because you have to care
You need to be careful,
Local activity schedule
You have to organize it in advance.
Except for this pre-departure inspection
The other procedures
I think I've become much more efficient.
Document submission etc. is also electronic data,
It can be submitted online.
Before arriving at a Japanese airport
If you submit online
Once you arrive in Japan, you will have to go through a lot of complicated procedures.
There may be a long wait
It will be lower.
If you search for "fast track"
I think the specific details will come out.
Please check it out if you're interested.
A business trip to France in September
After that, I'm going to Poland
I thought about it and looked into it,
The situation was as described above.
We still need to be vigilant about infection prevention.
The situation continues.
First, to avoid infection
I would like to do my best as much as I can.
Well then.
Today was a special edition.
