Entry requirements

The information on this page covers the most common types of travel and reflects the UK government’s understanding of the rules currently in place. Unless otherwise stated, this information is for travellers using a full ‘British Citizen’ passport.

The authorities in the country or territory you’re travelling to are responsible for setting and enforcing the rules for entry. If you’re unclear about any aspect of the entry requirements, or you need further reassurance, you’ll need to contact the embassy, high commission or consulate of the country or territory you’re travelling to.

You should also consider checking with your transport provider or travel company to make sure your passport and other travel documents meet their requirements.

Visas

If you have a ‘British Citizen’ or ‘British National (Overseas)’ passport, you can enter Japan as a visitor for up to 90 days without a visa. You may need to provide evidence of a return or onward ticket.

If you have a different type of British nationality, or you wish to enter Japan for other purposes (long-term stay, study, settlement, employment); if you have any doubts about whether you’re eligible to enter Japan (eg, if you have a criminal record or have been arrested even if it did not result in a conviction) or about visa matters generally, contact a Japanese Embassy or Consulate. Visas aren’t issued after arrival in Japan.

It’s illegal to work in Japan without the correct visa, however informal or temporary the work. Don’t overstay your permission to remain in the country, otherwise you risk arrest, detention and a heavy fine.

Passport validity

Your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay. No additional period of validity beyond this is required.

UK Emergency Travel Documents

UK Emergency Travel Documents are accepted for entry, airside transit and exit from Japan.

Medication

The use or possession of some common prescription and over-the-counter medicines are banned under Japan’s strictly enforced anti-stimulant drugs law. This includes Vicks inhalers, medicines for allergies and sinus problems, cold and flu medication containing Pseudoephedrine and even some over-the-counter painkillers like those containing codeine. Foreign nationals have been detained and deported for offences - ignorance may not be considered a defence. You should check the status of your medication with the nearest Japanese Embassy or Consulate before you travel.

If you’re travelling with prescription medication that is permitted under Japanese law, you’re normally allowed to bring in up to one month’s supply. You’re advised to bring a copy of your prescription and a letter from your doctor stating the medical condition that the medication has been prescribed to treat. For more guidance on travelling with medication, check information pages from NHS Choices and the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) in our foreign travel checklist.

If you need prescription medicine for long term use, you may need to provide extra paperwork, such as an import licence. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare provides information about bringing medication for personal use.

The Poorest Countries in Asia

Asia is the largest continent in the world as well as the most populous. While Asia is home to some of the strongest economies in the world, such as China, there are also some weaker economies. For the purposes of this analysis, a country’s measure of wealth is calculated based on the nominal gross domestic product (GDP) per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP). The GDP per capita method based on the PPP is preferred because it provides a clearer picture of a nation by accounting for inflation and the cost of living. According to this measure, the poorest country in Asia is Afghanistan, followed by Yemen and Nepal. The Poorest Countries in Asia Data from the 2017 International Monetary Fund shows that Afghanistan was the poorest country in Asia with a GDP per capita of $1,889. The second poorest country was Yemen with $2,300 while Nepal was third with about $2,690. Closing the top five was Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with $3,131 and $3,652 in the four...

Do giant whales ever ram or collide with submarines or ships in the ocean? Are vessels able to survive the momentum from the impact?

As an offshore sailor, I have repeatedly had the experience of a whale, and even two, swimming alongside my sailboat for a much as an hour at a time, sometimes so close I could reach over the side to touch it. Yet never once did any whale bump the hull. On one occasion a large fin whale dove under my boat. The whale was much bigger than my sailboat, which was a 42 ft cutter.. As the flukes went into the ocean on one side, I looked over the other side and could see the head and body of the whale under the keel. It surfaced on the other side and then swam alongside for a while, but never touched the keel. Whales seem to have a very good sense of where their bodies are, and fortunately seem very kind and friendly to sailors. I treasure the times that they graced me with their companionship as I travelled across their domain. Booking.com
