| Dear Friends of the EBC,
We hope you enjoyed a pleasant summer in Japan or abroad !
Talking about travel and business people who wish to come to Japan, Japanese media recently revealed that the government may lift the requirement for travelers to undergo a COVID-19 test before departure and may increase the number of daily entries into the country. In an interview with Reuters, EBC President Michael Mroczek said that “the need for business people to have a visa before travelling to Japan remains an obstacle, especially for companies that have no presence in Japan”. The EBC remains mobilised and active so that our European companies can develop their business on the Japanese market without obstacles.
