Visa Requirements
As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, there are some additional restrictions on entry into and movement around Japan for foreign citizens compared to normal years. We are working closely with the JABCC to try and ensure the impact on our conference participants is as small as possible, and will do our best to keep all participants informed as the situation evolves.
Under current rules, all foreign passport holders seeking to enter Japan on business are required to acquire a visa. As part of this process they have to submit a certificate filled out by a hosting organisation in Japan under the Entries, Returnees Follow-up Scheme (ERFS). Our understanding is that recent business travellers to Japan who have either an office of their own in Japan which can complete this form for them, or another hosting organisation willing to do so, have found the process of obtaining a visa relatively straightforward; but life is more complicated for those who do not.
To assist us in ensuring such certificates can be obtained by all conference participants, including those whose own company is not in a position to apply, you will be asked if you need assistance as part of your registration.
Confirmation
On completion of registration you will receive a confirmation email with a summary of your registration. Contact the conference organisers if any changes are required.
Two weeks prior to the conference, you will receive an email with confirmation of your arrangements.
