According to the latest regulations issued by the Japanese government, non-Japanese foreigners need to meet the following conditions when transferring in Japan:

1. Transfer from the country of departure to a third country or region, and ensure that the stay time at the Japanese airport does not exceed 12 hours.

2. Accept the quarantine and inspection in the airport and comply with the relevant epidemic prevention requirements.

3. Ensure that the national passport, residence certificate and other documents meet the entry requirements of Japan.

4. Accept COVID-19 nucleic acid test within 72 hours before take-off, and ensure that the test result is negative.

5. Confirm the latest regulations and requirements with the airport or airline before departure, and book connecting flights in advance.

In addition, if you need to change airports or stay overnight in Japan, you may need to apply for a visa and need to confirm it in advance. Different airlines have different requirements for non-Japanese foreigners to transfer in Japan, so they need to consult the airlines for details. At the same time, the consulate believes that boarding should not be refused, but the final interpretation right belongs to the Japanese embassy and JAL airport ground handling.
