Japan further extends multiple-entry visas to Chinese tourists
Japan recently announced that it would further relax its policy to issue multiple-entry visas to Chinese tourists.
The multiple-entry visa to Chinese tourists was initiated in 2011 to help boost the economy of the areas affected by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The visa required tourists to stay at least overnight in Fukushima, Iwate or Miyagi. The tourists will be free to stay anywhere in Japan from their second visit onward.
The new visa policy is considering issuing multiple-entry visa to individuals with strong purchasing power, with no attached condition to visit the three places.
