Question:
Hello, I have a trip coming up to Japan and wanted to know the basic questions that you get asked in Japan when they check your passports either when you arrive or you depart from there. I want to be prepared with the answers. E.G Are you on vacation? How many days do you plan to stay? What are you going to visit?
Please write them in japanese and how they are usually asked. Anything you can think of is OK. Also its ok if you write them using kanji too.
Thanks a bunch in advance!
Answer:
figma, all those questions are asked on the immigration landing form on the airplane before you land in Japan.
The form is in Japanese and English, you can write all the answers down in English, the form asks, how long you are staying, the reason for the visit, where you will be staying etc etc.
The immigration officer takes this form looks at it, scans your passport, and rarely says anything, other then how to put your hands on the fingerprint machine and takes your picture.
The staff generally speak English, as they deal with millions of international passengers per year.
After immigration, you go through customs, Customs will sometimes ask questions too, they speak ok English, you can say "visiting friends" "vacation in Tokyo" and that's fine, other times they don't ask any questions.
As long as you aren't doing anything illegal or have anything illegal there isn't anything to worry about, the process is pretty smooth.
