EBC ニュースレター　2020年10月21日

This week, a European businessman who came to Japan on a short-term business trip shared with us the documents he had to submit to the Japanese Embassy in his country of residence and on his arrival at Haneda.

The EBC warmly thanks him for providing this useful information and hopes this short article will help your colleagues or clients prepare their next trip to Japan.

We also communicate an interesting webinar hosted on October 22^nd by the European Delegation in Japan on “COVID-19 & Connectivity”.

We wish you a good reading and hope you stay positive and healthy during this difficult time.
