Travel, Visas & Covid*
Japan - (last update 10-05-2022) OPEN SOON
BIG NEWS: Prime Minister Kishida just announced that Japan will bring their border policies in line with the rest of the G7 by June. Reports say they will start admitting package tours as early as this month.
IMPORTANT: Japan just announced a reopening to tourists, starting with small package tours this month and perhaps a wider reopening in June. Details are scarce. We will provide more details as soon as we hear them. For now, check out this Japan Times article.
Possibility of Japan Reopening to Tourism (personal opinion):
Cambodia (last update 10-05-2022) OPEN
Cambodia has one of the highest vaccination rates in Asia. The corona virus has not yet been completely defeated, but the number of infections has fallen sharply in recent months. Tourists are welcome to Cambodia again.
Fully vaccinated tourists are again free to travel to the country without having to quarantine. Unvaccinated tourists, however, must spend 14 days in quarantine upon arrival. There are also some important COVID-19 rules that tourists still have to take into account. Those who want to go on holiday to Cambodia have to apply for a visa, take out a special COVID insurance and do a Covid virus test. Read more at e-visa Cambodia >>
