 |
|
Hey, I'm not sure if this goes here but I searched around and couldn't find the answer anywhere else.
I'm heading to Tokyo for the long weekend in May and am flying out of Gimpo. I need to purchase a single re-entry but am unsure if they issue them at Gimpo. Can anyone confirm this for me?
Also, am I correct that I do not need a visa or anything else prior to entering Japan?
Thanks! |

You don't need anything to enter Japan. I think they still just put a sticker in your passport on arrival.
Re-entry via Gimpo  Not sure. There is only about 2 or 3 international flights a day from there. Phone them in advance. |

The best bet is to do it online, they process it and send you a certificate thing to print out which you just take with you to the airport,

have to register first but it takes about five minutes flat.
Did it myself this morning, I'm in exactly the same boat as you, going to Tokyo for the long weekend. |

I am not sure what Soviet Man is talking about. Given his thread about Thailand, it isn't a surprise. You can apply for it online if you want. |

actually S. Africans have to apply for a visa - it's not automatic
as for Gimpo - I thought non-Ks could only fly in and out of Incheon for international flights?
has this changed? |
