Can I get a free refund if I cancel my visa ticket in Japan? Can I cancel my hotel reservation when traveling to Thailand in March?

Due to the previous epidemic, many friends who planned to travel canceled their trips directly. Can I refund my previous ticket now? Plans to go to Thailand in March were also cancelled. Can related hotel accommodation and air tickets be canceled without liability?

From March 2, 2010 to March 2, 2010, we ordered two tickets from Shanghai to Osaka, Japan on March 18 through the official website of a domestic airline. On March 6, Japan’s entry policy changed due to the epidemic. Single and multiple-entry visas for Japanese tourists to China will become invalid from 0:00 on March 9, and the current policy is valid until March 31. Accordingly, the Japanese visa is temporarily invalid and you will not be able to travel to Japan on March 18. Can I get a full refund?

The airline should refund the ticket in full.

First of all, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has issued a clear policy regarding the cancellation of air tickets during the epidemic. That is, “If civil aviation passengers who have purchased tickets before 0:00 on January 28, 2008 and whose flight date is later than this time limit apply for a refund before the flight takes off, all airlines and their ticket sales agents shall provide free refunds to the passengers during the validity period of the tickets. No fees will be charged for ticket refunds. This requirement will be implemented from 0:00 on January 28, 2008. "However, this policy can only cover tickets purchased before January 28, and tickets purchased on March 2 are not within the scope of this policy. .

According to Japan’s new entry policy, your visa to Japan has temporarily expired, and you can’t go there even if you want to. Does this count as "force majeure"? According to Article 153 of the General Principles of Civil Law, force majeure refers to objective circumstances that are unforeseen, unavoidable and insurmountable. Such as earthquakes, typhoons, floods, mudslides, wars, unrest, riots, terrorist attacks, armed conflicts, strikes and government legal and administrative actions. The change in Japan's immigration policy is an administrative act of the government and is force majeure. I haven’t bought a ticket yet. Even if the flight is normal, the airline should issue a full refund.

The Japanese visa has expired, can the air ticket be fully refunded

I booked a hotel in March through an online travel platform in advance, but the flight to Thailand was cancelled. At the same time, considering that Thailand may have an immigration quarantine policy, I plan to cancel the trip. Can a hotel cancel a reservation without losing money?

It is recommended to negotiate to unsubscribe.

According to the reply from the "96" Shanghai travel hotline, if it is a group tour, it should be unconditionally canceled in accordance with the previous relevant policies, and the remaining expenses incurred except visa fees and insurance premiums will be refunded.

However, if you book a hotel separately through an online travel platform, since Thailand currently does not restrict the entry of Chinese people, canceling the hotel reservation is indeed a "voluntary cancellation." How much money can be refunded depends on the corresponding policies and wishes of the overseas hotel. It is recommended to negotiate with suppliers and overseas hotels through online travel platforms to reach cancellation requests.
