The Government of Japan is considering offering short-term Visa-free travel to Russians. It is studying the possibility of offering a Visa waiver to the Russians. This has been revealed by the newspaper Sankei by citing its own news sources.
It has been revealed by the
newspaper that Russians arriving in Japan for less than 90 days will not
require Visas. This is if they submit their details from their passports to the
Diplomatic Mission of Japan in
advance. It is also being considered by the Government of Japan to offer
Multiple Visa-free entries to Russians with a specified timeframe.
The timeframe for launching the
Visa-free travel is yet to be decided. It is likely that the issue will be
discussed in the meeting between the Foreign
Ministers of Japan and Russia. This is to be held in the 3rd week of
February. It is likely to be held on the sidelines of the Security Conference
at Munich.
Japan has earlier relaxed Visa
regime for Russians twice earlier. The number of tourists from Russia to Japan
reached around 95,000 in 2018 as a result. This was a year-on-year increase of
235.
The Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe also held talks with Vladimir Putin the President of Russia.
He said that both the nations have set the target of enhancing the mutual arrivals of tourists to 400,000 by
2023.
Japan believes that Visa-free
travel will also aid in creating favourable conditions for discussions to sign
a peace treaty.
