Japan entry guide

The process of Japanese immigrants entering the country is very simple. After disembarking, they will apply for landing at the entry-exit port, that is, show their passports/visas to the entry-exit inspectors. When the immigration inspector considers that the applicant meets the entry requirements, the applicant can land in Japan. Below, for all the friends who are going to enter Japan, I will introduce the relevant information about Japan's entry in detail.

Chapter II of the Immigration Law stipulates the basic principles for foreigners to enter and land. Section 1 of Chapter II stipulates the important matters for foreigners to enter Japanese territory. The second section is entitled? Foreigners land? The types of foreigners who cannot enter the country are specified as the reasons for refusing entry.

For countries with land borders, the so-called? Getting started? That is, foreigners cross the border into China and then set up separately? Landing? This concept has no practical significance. Japan, which is surrounded by the sea on all sides, is distinguished by foreigners entering the territorial sea (entry) and entering the territory (landing).

That is, the pipe entrance method will? Getting started? And then what? Landing? These two concepts are distinguished separately, and different access management laws and regulations are adopted respectively.

In order to restrict foreigners from entering Japan's territorial waters, what is the law? Must have a valid passport? This entry condition will be aimed at foreigners who violate this condition. In addition, foreigners who have landed in Japan and want to stay in Japan need to be examined whether to approve their landing, because they have substantial relations with Japanese society. However, after entering Japan's territorial waters and airspace, some foreigners passed through Japan's territorial waters or airspace, although they did not land on Japanese territory. Therefore, such foreigners also need to apply for landing, and make a decision on whether to allow landing after review.

Due to the above factors, the import management law will? Foreigners entering the country? And then what? Foreigners land? There is a difference between the two, and the necessary conditions are set.

Important matters concerning the entry of foreigners.

Foreigners who want to enter Japan must hold a valid passport. However, foreigners who are flight attendants or become flight attendants in Japan can enter Japan even if they have a valid flight attendant manual.

In addition, people who have not obtained the landing permit and seal of the immigration inspector are not allowed to enter Japan.

For those who enter Japan in violation of these necessary conditions, except for Article 24 of the Immigration Law. 1, which should be regarded as? Persons who meet the conditions of (illegal entry)? In addition to forced repatriation from Japan, people who meet Article 70 1 of the Immigration Law can also be targeted for criminal punishment.

Registration procedure for foreigners

Foreigners who want to land in Japan can, in principle, be inspected by entry-exit inspectors at the entry-exit ports designated by the Ministry of Justice.

The landing review conducted by the immigration inspector is very important to prevent illegal immigrants, people who meet the reasons for refusing to land, people with suspicious entry motives and other foreigners who are not welcome in Japan from landing, and to conduct entry and exit management fairly. According to the regulations, if foreigners want to land in Japan, they must go through the landing review and obtain a stamped passport certificate before they can land in a legal capacity. Foreigners who have not passed the landing review cannot land in a legal capacity. Landing without approval is tantamount to illegal entry or illegal landing, which will not only be the object of forced repatriation, but also the object of criminal punishment.

The following contents explain the conditions that foreigners must meet to obtain the landing permit. According to the immigration law, foreigners applying for landing must meet the following five conditions:

1. Hold a valid passport and a valid visa issued by a Japanese consular officer.

2. All related activities applied for are facts.

3. The activity you want to engage in in Japan meets any of the eligibility conditions for stay stipulated in the entry law. In addition, the stay qualification conditions of the landing permit standard should meet the standards.

4. The planned stay time shall comply with the provisions of the detailed rules for implementation.

5. Persons who do not meet the requirements of Article 5 of the Entry Law and have reasons to refuse entry.

Landing applications must be processed at entry and exit airports and ports according to the procedures prescribed by the Ministry of Justice. At the same time, foreigners who want to apply for landing must provide personal identification information (fingerprints and photos of themselves) to entry-exit inspectors, except those exempted by laws and regulations.

After landing, if the examination results are deemed not to meet the landing conditions, the immigration inspector will be handed over to the special auditor for oral examination. In addition, foreigners who are not exempted from providing personal identification information by laws and regulations will also be examined by specialized auditors.

If the results of the oral examination are determined by the special examiner to meet the landing conditions, the foreigner may be allowed to land immediately. However, if it is determined that it does not meet the landing conditions, foreigners can choose to obey the special auditor's determination or raise objections. If you obey the appraisal, you will be repatriated according to the order. In addition, the objection shall be submitted to the Minister of Justice within 3 days after confirmation.

If a foreigner who is determined by the special auditor not to meet the landing conditions raises an objection, the Minister of Justice will judge whether the objection is justified, that is, whether the foreigner meets the landing conditions. What if the verdict is? Is there a reason? You should approve Huai landing immediately. What if the verdict is? No reason? He was ordered to leave the country. Foreigners who are ordered to leave the country do not leave the country within the specified time, and can take the means of forced repatriation.

In addition, the objection raised by the Minister of Justice after confirmation? No reason? At that time, if it was considered that there were special reasons for approving the landing on the Huaihe River, special permission (that is, special landing permission) could be given to the foreigner.

The above-mentioned foreigner landing review procedure is to give foreigners the opportunity to personally claim/prove that they meet the conditions for foreigners to land.

Visa/stay qualification certificate

1, visa

In principle, foreigners who want to land in Japan should not only carry valid passports, but also have valid visas issued by Japanese consular officials.

A visa is a valid proof that the passport held by a foreigner is legally issued by an authoritative government. There are also? Recommended? The nature of the visa, that is, the entry and stay of foreigners in Japan meet the conditions recorded in the visa.

In addition, Japan's visa issuance is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

2. Certificate of occupancy qualification

Immigration law requires foreigners to? A short stay? When landing in Japan, the Minister of Justice may, according to the application, examine in advance whether the stay qualification meets the landing conditions, and submit a certificate if it meets the conditions. The documents delivered are called stay qualification certificates. The purpose of this stay qualification certification system is to make the entry examination procedure simple, rapid and effective.

The residence qualification certificate is issued by the Minister of Justice in advance to examine whether the activities of foreigners who want to land in Japan meet their landing conditions (meet the requirements of residence qualification/landing standards) and when they think they meet the conditions. In addition, even if the activities that the foreigner wants to engage in in in Japan meet the conditions stipulated in the stay qualification/landing standards, if it is determined that the foreigner meets the conditions of reasonable refusal to land and other conditions that do not meet the landing requirements, the stay qualification certificate will not be issued.

When foreigners show their stay qualification certificates to the Japanese consulate and apply for visas, the Minister of Justice has already completed the examination of the landing conditions for their stay qualifications in advance, so they can quickly apply for the examination of visa issuance.

In addition, foreigners who present the above-mentioned certificates at entry and exit ports are regarded as people who meet the conditions for staying and landing, and can also conduct landing review simply and quickly.

Reasons for refusing to land

According to the principles established by international law, the state has the right to prohibit foreigners who are not welcome in the country or allow them to enter the country under conditions that it deems appropriate. All countries can refuse foreigners who may endanger public health, public order and domestic security to enter/land in the country.

As far as Japan is concerned, the reason for refusing to land is that the foreigner belongs to the type of foreigner who does not want to grant landing permission. Specifically, the following types of foreigners are refused entry to Japan:

1. People who are refused entry from the perspective of health care/hygiene.

2. People who think they are strongly antisocial and therefore will not be allowed to land in Huai.

3. Persons who were forcibly repatriated by Japan and refused to land in Huai.

4. Persons who may endanger Japan's interests or public safety are therefore not allowed to enter the country.

5, based on the principle of reciprocity, people who are not allowed to land in Huai.
