Summary
Japan is set to implement a new preclearance system starting in January, aimed at expediting immigration for foreign tourists, beginning with visitors from Taiwan. This system will allow travelers to complete most immigration procedures before their departure, reducing entry wait times upon arrival. This initiative comes as Japan experiences a surge in tourism, with approximately 17.8 million visitors in the first half of the year and record spending by foreign tourists reaching ¥2.1 trillion ($13.4 billion) for the April-June quarter.
