Yeah, another confirmation from Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

"7月1日から，短期滞在を目的とするマレーシア国民であって，IC一般旅券を所持する者に対し，上述のビザ取得の勧奨を終了し，ビザを取得することなく我が国への入国を可能とすることにより，短期滞在目的のビザ免除措置を実質的に再開することとしました。"

With this symbol ....

if you can go throught the immigration machine your passport probably has embedded chip right?

I would imagine yes

oh no, nowadays my passport can't get through the machines. last time can, now cannot.

I'm going to Japan on the 1st of July and I just got my visa, applied last week.

When i go to embassy last week, they cant confirm about the exemption of the visa since they didn't get any notice yet. So, i've been advised to request for the visa. But then, when the time I collect, they said no need to apply visa after this, effective on 1st July 2013.

So, my visa is the last batch visa to visit Japan

I book my return flight from kl to haneda rm860 then narita to sapporo (chitose) return flight rm440. So far the cheapest 1 compare to peach n jetstar. Travel in this oct. Booked during the buy 2 pay 1 promotion. Lucky AAJ stil got till end of oct. Hehe...
