Great video. When you get to the QR code screen make sure you get a QR code for each traveller. Tap the down arrow and do a screen shot for each traveller.
The website itself wasn't exactly intuitive, couldn't figure out how to get the immigration and customs QR code to generate (had to first click on the planned entry), thank you!
Good tutorial..so if I register for other family members do I just take a snapshot of ea QR code n let them have it on hand to scan at customs? Family members would be spouse and children under 18 only?
Hi, yes each family member can save the snapshot of their QR code on a device to scan at immigration and customs. According to the FAQ www.vjw.digital.go.jp/main/#/vjwpco011-en In order to use Visit Japan Web, one account is required for each person, so in principle, please create an account with a different email address for each person. However, When a family member undergoes immigration procedures at the same time, they can register as accompanying family members in the account of the representative and create QR Codes for the accompanying family members in one account. They did not specify in details, so I guess you can register for spouse, children and parents
@@theresearchfiles Thanks. Actually I entered my surname as "C D" and name as "A B" when my passport name is "A B C D". Had no issue with immigration and customs 😊 I guess as long it has all the names from passport should be fine.
Hi, I did not declare the ring I was wearing. I guess you can read others' comments and make your own judgement. www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravelTips/comments/17wokxl/declaration_of_personal_effects/?rdt=33038
Hi, if you have family members traveling with you, it would be easier to register under one account. If you register separately then you need two accounts.
If the company I used to purchase the flight was British Airways but my airline operator is Japan Airlines do I need to search the corresponding flight number on Japan Airlines' website and use that instead? If I input Japan Airlines, the numbers are automatically set to JL so I can't use the BA flight number on my boarding pass that I received via email.
The instruction says, For codeshare flights, please enter the main flight number. If there are two flight numbers, then you can pick the number of the airline that operates flight. If there is only one flight number, you can just enter that, it is fine. www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravelTips/comments/15sl44l/flight_number_visit_japan_web/
Hi, Visit Japan web (VJW) QR code is for immigration and Customs clearance. If you don't register on VJW, then you have to fill out the paper forms for both.
Only the flight number that enters Japan is required. So you can enter the flight to the first destination in Japan which you will pass through the immigration.
I think without Tax-free QR code for me, as you can still buy things in Japan as a foreigner using your passport, without the Visit japan web tax-free code.
Well I think it's more convenient and faster. Without visit japan web- you have to fill out the paper form before passing immigration. For Customs, you have to fill out the paper declaration and proceed to another queue.

Can we get our QR code now even though we’re arriving on the 26th of November this year.
Hi, yes you can, if you have confirmed your transport and place to stay.
hi.. do i get only one QR code or Two? thank you
Hi, you get only one QR code for both immigration and customs
If your passport just has "name" with full name and no surname, what do you fill in the "surname"?
Hi if you don't have a surname, just enter a '-' in the Surname field.
If you scan your passport, it will automatically fill the information for you
@@theresearchfiles Thanks. Actually I entered my surname as "C D" and name as "A B" when my passport name is "A B C D".
Had no issue with immigration and customs 😊
I guess as long it has all the names from passport should be fine.
@@rif1993 Thanks for the update
What if I'm wearing the gold and not inside the luggage (Rings, earrings, necklace, bracelet)? should i still have to say Yes?
Hi, I did not declare the ring I was wearing.
I guess you can read others' comments and make your own judgement.

What the diffence if we input family member or not? If we just write individual what will be happened?

Hi, one question. Should I fill the "Immigration clearance and customs declaration" part for my register family member too? (after 4:26).
Thanks
Yes, because each member gets one QR code after the declaration. You can select the name to show their code.
Ok thank you
What is this QR code registration used for? Im planning on travelling to Japan next year, dont know anthring about it.
Does everyone need it or not?
Hi, Visit Japan web (VJW) QR code is for immigration and Customs clearance.
If you don't register on VJW, then you have to fill out the paper forms for both.
If i go to tokyo then transit to osaka how to fill 2 number flight?
Only the flight number that enters Japan is required. So you can enter the flight to the first destination in Japan which you will pass through the immigration.
Hi, if my arrival in 🇯🇵 is on nov 15, can I fill out the Japan web form today, oct28 even my arrival is few more weeks?thanks
Hi, yes you can,.
Hello, I’m confused, What if I’m traveling alone and there is no option to skip?
If you are traveling alone, you don't have to click on 'Details of family members traveling with you'.
One question, does this process is also needed when exiting Japan?
Hi, no, it is only required during entry to Japan.
do the immigration qr code expire? so that i have to reopen the web and have another qr code
No it doesn't expire. It expires after your arrival date.
You can take a screenshot and save it on your device.
1 person or family member must also fill it in?
Hi, every traveler needs a QR code. 1 person in the family can fill out for others by registering family members travelling with you, watch 1:14
Which is much better: Tax-free QR code or not?
I think without Tax-free QR code for me, as you can still buy things in Japan as a foreigner using your passport, without the Visit japan web tax-free code.
Will this way be faster?
Well I think it's more convenient and faster.
Without visit japan web-
you have to fill out the paper form before passing immigration.
For Customs, you have to fill out the paper declaration and proceed to another queue.
