(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Amman, Sept. 25 (Petra)-- Japan will gradually start allowing entry to foreigners with newly issued long-term visas from October, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said on Friday, further relaxing tough restrictions introduced earlier this year to guard against imported cases of coronavirus.
The relaxation will be applied to foreigners with the appropriate visas, including student and dependent visas, sequentially from countries where the novel coronavirus has subsided, Suga said, without saying which nationalities would be the first to be granted entry.
They will be required to test for coronavirus before they are allowed into the country. Tourists are still barred from entering Japan.
Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura, who also oversees coronavirus policies, said Tokyo would proceed by negotiating with countries on a bilateral basis about the conditions for relaxing entry restrictions.
