According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, 3.4 million foreign tourists visited Japan in May 2024, marking the third consecutive month with more than 3 million visitors since March 2024 and also the highest monthly figure ever recorded.
In this context, the Japanese government plans to implement a new system called "pre-clearance" to shorten the time required for immigration procedures for foreign visitors.
Specifically, foreign visitors can utilize the waiting time before boarding at the departure airport to complete most of the immigration checks into Japan. Therefore, upon arrival, visitors can enter the country smoothly and quickly with only one simple remaining check.
Initially, Japan plans to launch this service for tourists from Taiwan (China) starting in January 2025 and will expand its application to other countries and regions depending on the situation.
In addition, the Japanese government has decided to develop future guidelines later this year to address "tourist overcrowding," where the excessive concentration of tourists at tourist destinations is becoming a problem for Japan.
