846 refused entry into Japan under revised immigration rule

A total of 846 foreign nationals have been refused entry to Japan since the country began fingerprinting and photographing foreign nationals at airports and seaports nationwide in November last year, the Justice Ministry said Friday.

Most of the refusals were due to arriving passengers’ fingerprints matching those of people deported in the past while, in several cases, they matched those of wanted people, according to the ministry’s Immigration Bureau. Of the total refused entry, 297 were South Korean, 155 Filipinos and 90 Chinese. Some carried other people’s passports.

When you enter Japan, you will be photographed and get your finger-print scanned at the airport biggrin.gif

So make sure you brush your teeth before landing & smile at the camera laugh.gif

Due to Global recession and Japan is one of the Asian country to get hit quite badly, i heard now that japan need more tousirt to visit their country. So the entry to Japan is not that serious anymore.

According to a Japanese body, in 2007, about 100890 Malaysians visited Japan, and that's an all time high.....

Is it ok to apply for visa on my own rather than going thru the travel agents? Will it make a difference? Since I'm going on a free and easy trip. As for the bank book/statement, I'm using a joint account with my wife. Will that be a problem also?

Not going to Japan anytime soon, however, if i travel to Japan, i expect that i should travel like...Kanto area (Tokyo), around Nagoya, and Kansai area (Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe)...

Of course, railway museum is a MUST!

Either by yourself or through agency, both are the same biggrin.gif
There won't be a problem if joint account.
Just give them a call to confirm.
