Confusion about Oct 11th date for Japan (visa free) travel? Not yet on Timatic?
Upvote:2
(Thursday night)
I'm putting in an answer based on info gleaned so far.
It would appear there is a major mistake in Timatic's data.
(1) I could be mistaken but it clearly states on this official source that "UK" is included in visa free travel:
https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/short/novisa.html#notice06
(2) As of now, go to any timatic gateway and simply enter UK (passport) UK (resident) UK (departing) and Japan destination ... date after the 12th (or any date) and it asserts you DO NEED a visa.
Strange stuff!
That is a massive problem if so. No airline will sell a ticket if timatic says no.
Friday morning ...
All Timatic fed sites still report that UK travellers need a visa:
This does seem to be simply "completely wrong" based on all the info on Japanese gov't websites.
(Friday night)
No change. Timatic incorrectly says that UK passports need a visa.
What a strange thing.
