55.05 Visit Japan Web

Why it matters

Visit Japan Web is the Digital Agency’s official portal for pre-registering immigration, customs, and tax-free shopping details before flying to Japan. Completing the forms generates QR codes that shorten arrival processing and unlock the blue and green fast-track lanes referenced in 41.01 Japan Life and the airport timeline in 41.02 Arrival and First Months.

Key workflows

  • Account creation and traveller profiles: Supports individual or family accounts with multilingual guidance so you can preload passport data, flight information, and duty-free eligibility.
  • Immigration & customs forms: Stores arrival/departure information, customs declarations, and quarantine data that border officers scan directly from the generated QR codes.
  • Tax-free shopping pass: Issues the blue QR used in airport duty-free stores once immigration is cleared, reducing paperwork for high-value purchases.

Usage notes

  • Save screenshots or printouts of the QR codes in case airport Wi-Fi is congested during arrival.
  • Reuse the same traveller profile for return trips; update flight numbers and accommodation details before each visit.
  • Pair the digital queueing benefit with the document checklist in the first-week arrival workflow.
