Time Out (20 Msy 2021)

Japan is extending its entry ban to seven more nations. Set to come into effect on Friday May 21, Japan will deny entry of foreign travellers coming from Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Seychelles, Cambodia, Saint Lucia, Mongolia and East Timor. There are now 159 countries and regions under Japan’s travel ban. 

In general, Japan's foreign residents are allowed to re-enter the country provided they have a valid residency status and re-entry permit. However, in an effort to prevent the spread of the new Indian coronavirus variant into Japan, the government has temporarily barred re-entry for foreign residents if they have been to Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh or the Maldives within 14 days prior to arrival.
