The Japan Health Questionnaire is a simple online application form. You must provide certain details about yourself and your travel plans, then the completed document is generated and sent to you.
The Travel Health Certificate helps Japanese health authorities in various ways:
Monitoring entry restrictions
Passengers must follow all current safety measures for Japan, or they will be refused entry.
You must state on the Japan travel health form that you meet the current COVID-19 entry requirements, such as a negative test result.
Entry restrictions often change quickly, so it is important to check the most recent information before traveling.
Health screening visitors
The Japan health declaration form asks each passenger to answer questions about their current health status.
This is to inform health authorities of any visitor who could be at risk of carrying COVID-19. Officials can then take the relevant steps to manage the situation, such as refusing entry or additional requirements.
Tracking positive cases
You must provide your contact details on the travel health form. This is so the Japanese government can contact you quickly and easily if you have been in contact with a positive COVID-19 case.
This way they can interrupt possible chains of transmission and reduce the spread of the virus.
