Category:NewsOn October 1, 2020, the Japanese government did ease the entry of foreign students into Japan in a phased manner.
They will be required to undergo a 14-day medical examination before entering the country and a COVID-19 inspection 72 hours prior to entry, and will be required to undergo a 14-day quarantine upon arrival.
This will allow students to study abroad. It is not known at this stage how long this situation will end.
