Japan Eases Entry Rules For Taiwan, 4 Nations
The Japanese government is easing entry restrictions for travelers from Taiwan, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar on Tuesday.
Long-term residents, like expatriate workers, will now be able to travel back and forth between Japan and these regions.
The move is in line with the government's stance that Japan will allow in travelers from countries and territories where the coronavirus pandemic is largely contained.
Japan has already eased travel restrictions for long-term residents from Vietnam and Thailand.
The government aims to strike a deal with Singapore by the end of this month to mutually admit both short- and long-term visitors.
Tokyo is also in negotiations with China, South Korea and Australia. It hopes to revive Japan's economy by gradually reopening its borders.
