Japan Adds Pre-Entry TB Screening for Indonesian Nationals
Original: Japan Immigration Update: Pre-Entry TB Screening for Indonesian Nationals
Japan has introduced a new immigration requirement: Indonesian nationals applying for entry must now complete tuberculosis screening before departure. The pre-entry medical check is intended to prevent TB transmission and bring Indonesian applicants in line with screening rules already applied to applicants from several other countries. Applicants will need to obtain a medical certificate from an approved facility as part of the visa process.
Why now: Indonesia is one of Japan's largest sources of workers and students, so the new health requirement affects a large group of visa applicants.
