How is the immigration in Japan? Foreigners in Japan share their experiences at the airport. 

That Australian dad was hilarious. So many dad jokes. I haven't been through immigration in Japan yet, but from all I've heard before, it seems like such a breeze. Can't wait to visit. And "bring a pen"....solid advice. One thing I always seen to forget, even after traveling so much.

hahaha that kids dad is so funny

I’m married to a Yokohama girl, have lived in Japan and visit once a year from the states for the last ten years. I love the place, the food, the history, the trains,everything. Except for an occasional sneer from the older men at the spa,I feel safe and comfortable there.

I studied in Japan for one year (from 2015 to 2016) and, when I went there, I went with a group of about 50 people (most going to the same university). Given the fact that we had a certificate of eligibility and a visa, we were taken from the "normal" immigration queue and asked to wait a little bit because they would allocate some people to process our group's requests, since it would take a little longer (they would have to issue zairyuu cards for all of us). For that reason, it took from 20 to 30 minutes until our queue started walking. After that everything went very, very smoothly. When we went to collect our baggage, there was even a person taking care of it (she was grouping the suitcases by its owner). Conclusion: it took a while, but I have nothing to complain about it.

When I went it was super quick. Less than 5 minutes and everyone was friendly and helpful

Omg the Denmark guys 😍. Also the accents are great!

@9:14 she said i’m Filipino and been in Japan and just coming back that is why it is easy Me: Immigration in the Narita airport is always not a problem. Passing immigration is always easy as long as you are honest, doesnt carry any illegal/unauthorized item and no criminal record. The problem for Filipinos planning to enter Japan is acquiring a Visa. If you are a Filipino you need to get a Visa. And there are many types of Visa depending on your purpose of stay. For Filipinos, First they MUST have a Visa that show the purpose of stay in Japan. And getting a visa is very hard and CAN BE DENIED anytime without discussing to you the reasons why you are denied (Such a shame for a so called allied countries). Second, when you apply for a visa you will be ask to show proof (Bank account) that you have the money to spend for your stay in Japan (that is understandable but if they are looking for too much amount then it is not). The embassy will also ask you to submit a form about your stay in Japan. In that form they will ask the Dates of stay, What is your plan on the said dates, the hotels or place your going to stay on that said dates And contact number on every place of the said hotels and dates. In most cases they will be asking proof of your reservation on the hotels you mentioned. If your visa application is denied by the embassy you will be waiting for another 6 months to be able to apply again for a visa (if one of your goal is to see the sakura then good luck with that and wait for another year). A short history: The Imperial Japan bombarded Manila to little more than rubble. The Philippines was colonized by Japan but the Philippines never did colonized Japan (i don’t know if back then Philippines can). Japan and Philippines is a neighboring country and now allies but the rules are very different and very strict for Filipino citizen. Did you know that if a Japanese citizen plan on visiting the Philippines, all he/she need is a plane ticket that show the date of return to his/her country. The Japanese embassy in Manila Philippines is way too much strict on letting Filipinos enter Japan. I am no expert on these legal matters this is just my observation and opinion Our God created every human being equal and a world for everyone to live harmoniously. Only human and its beliefs makes boundaries and inequality

I have been through the immigration in both Narita and Haneda so many times and I have always had a smooth and quick experience.

簡単すぎて問題もあるんだけれども良き

I have to go to Japan! 🇺🇸🇯🇵

Ahhh your make up at the end looks soooo good * u * Thank you so much for this information, I'm going in December so this was very helpful to me !! I'll definitely take a pen with me haha

0:49 the son is so handsome and cutee😍 and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought that😏

Have zero idea what to expect. This video is helpful! Thank you

I go to Hawaii every year, and it usually takes more than 2 hours to go through the immigration. Because so many airplanes get there at same time in the early morning. The worst was 5 hours on November 2 years ago and missed the reserved shuttle bus. It was awful.

デンマーク、くそイケメン！！！

I wanna go to Japan 🇵🇾😃😁

I just went to Japan for the 4th time and it took me the longest this time. It took me 20-30 min. I'm a US permanent resident but I have a Philippine Passport, so I had to get a tourist visa. I had to bust out some Japanese because their system was not finding my visa I guess and they had some more detailed questions for me. I had no complaints though because they were very polite about the situation. Gotta love Japan!

I didn’t bring any pen when I traveled to japan. But you can always check with the cabin crew if they sell any pen, I did that last time, and It only costs 3 dollars.

When I first arrived in Japan, I spent a very long time at customs based on the information I gave at passport control and had to answer many questions there. Because I was in China and North Korea before. It was and may still be forbidden to bring anything from North Korea. Everything was stored for a fee until I left the country. The people from the airport and customs were super friendly at all times. Almost exactly a year later it was Corona. I was so happy that I was able to enter the country on March 18th, 2020 and then spend five and a half wonderful weeks all over Japan. I love this country and will come wherever possible ... soon for a sabbatical year too.

Love the Aussie dad.

I found immigration to be quick and seamless, even at peak season. Both trips I landed in Haneda, and the second time transferred to Kansai, and from Itami back to Haneda. The first time in I got two cards on the plane. The yellow customs/baggage claim you get every time, but at least on the first time in you also get a small white card that you hand in with your passport. I don't remember getting that on the second trip. My second trip was in August(peak tourist season, and summer vacation for Japanese) and I never stood in line for more than 5 minutes. Also, the time of day makes a difference. I always try to fly over night if I can. Immigration is always quieter after 6pm.

I lived in Japan for a year in 2013 as a student, and I am worried that there is now too much immigration to Japan. I know this view is very much under attack these days, but after a lot of deliberation, I believe now that the reason why my time in Japan was so awesome is because it is so Japanese. Japan must keep being Japan. Sorry, if this hurts anybody's feelings, but it is my honest opinion.

Go Japan!!! 👌🏼🔝

The embassy-issued visa does help to keep out the riffraff. Especially as a visa (Myanmar, Vietnam, China) will only be issued up to 10.00, so no chance of the heavy drinkers making it.

I've been so many times come in and back to Japan. 99% my experience during immigration process was fine, only one time in Narita where I believe suddenly so many young officers sitting in the immigration box, and they check my passport (with so many stamps of arrival and departure from japan already) and they still took more than 10 mins to decide before finally they let me pass, kinda awful experience. I think those youngsters are trainee or something.

I want to live in Japan! 🇯🇵

Wow that Mexican girls speak English good.

税関 is customs, NOT immigration FYI. Immigration in Japanese is 出入国管理 or 入国審査 if you're only talking about entering.

Don't you know the time when the signboards of immigration at Japanese airports were labeled as aliens?

I’m going to Japan in April my first time on my own to Tokyo but I have bad Japanese but I write better.

10:01 The girl in the left is so beautiful

The people aren't immigrants, they're tourists. The real immigration office in Tokyo is a minor league hell.

赤枠の外側が白なので、白の日本語が読みにくいです〜

you have interviewed only tourists... Please tell more about immigration and customs checks for students who are coming for 2 years course. What to bring along (eg. medicines, food items and books and electronics/cookware) and how is the customs checkings are done ??

Cathy cat you are so cute so sweat.You speak English very well thank you 🙏 Fakhar from Pakistan

I have to go to Japan!come from China

Mexicoooooo 🇲🇽🇲🇽❤❤

Well i came to nagoya and waited for more than one hour

I’m going there in 2 weeks, I’ve got asthma and will carry my inhalers, do I need doctor’s note for immigration?

I have permanent resident status, so at Narita they escorted me to the head of the queue. But that's nothing, a drinking buddy had the Imigration officer carry his case for him.

It's depend the place you came from. I don't think it's easy for people from another place than Europe,USA, Canada or Australia to live their. I mean for African and south American people.

Great dad lol

I'm 16 and I want to travel to Japan with my little sister who is 15. since our parents cannot go with us I think that we'll have to deal with everything on our own... I have my uncle and cousin in Japan and they will catch us up on arrival but I'm so worried about the immigration officer, like whether or not they will let us go easily... any advice? :((

Im just trying to hear the music in the background

コミュ力はんぱないですね！

En argentina tenemos el sistema de impresión de dedos pero es tan lento y demora tanto que es mejor y más rápido ir a las filas de migración que no tienen la máquina 😂😂😂😆

Only clicked because in the thumbnail it looked like the White dude was gonna backhand that girl.

Immigration in Japan is different then USA.

Japan doesn't require any country to get a Visa for tourism.

良い旅を🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸😊💫✨

At Haneda airport imigration there was a guard standing still and holding a BIG STICK.. Wtf is with that?

私は何故かドイツの町並みを見ると（写真でしか見ていないが）バッハの音楽を想い出す。外国の人々は日本に来てどのような音楽を想い出すのだろうか？ヘルマン・ヘッセ、シュトルム、ヘルダーリン、シューベルト、・・・作品ではクヌルプ、春の嵐、車輪の下、湖、海の彼方より、クリングーゾル最後の夏、デーミアン、青春は麗し、シッダールタなどなど、私の謂わば精神を作った人と作品の国を見たいと思うが、外国の人々にはそういう動機はないのだろうか？アニメに寿司にラーメン？例えば清少納言なる若い女性に共感を覚えて、彼女の国を一見したいとか、川端康成の雪国の情緒を味わいたいとか、そんな動機はないのかな？

That Mexican girl 😍

I l♡ve Cathy Cat.

Well, It took my family and I 20 years to become US citizens. I'm no stranger to immigration systems. So in general I can guess they're a pain in the butt.

Can you live steam here

❤❤💕💕

Sorry man. Austria girl is my gf.

7:32 Hehe, typical bad English of French people... i wonder what's wrong with their school system, they produce a lot of people with suboptimal English skills and heavy French accents... are their teachers not up to par, perhaps?

日本に移住するならば、田舎にして欲しいな。
