    • Business Track visa to Japan

    The Singapore-Japan Business Track / Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) is applicable to all residents in Singapore entering through Tokyo (Narita International Airport or Haneda International Airport) or Osaka (Kansai International Airport).

    The Business Track enables limited business activities during the 14-day stay at home period (partially relaxes restrictions on such activities), immediately after arrival in Japan, on condition that travellers accept additional quarantine measures. This framework is intended mainly for short-term business travellers. Duration of stay in Japan will be up to 30 days on a single-entry basis. Business activities must be limited to the necessary minimum, such as round-trip travel between home and the office, not using public transportation and avoiding contact with random people or crowds.
