Pre-Entry Clearance for Japan Flights at Taoyuan International Airport to Ease Congestion During Spring Festival

Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport will provide pre-entry clearance for certain flights to Japan.

From January 16 to February 12, in cooperation with Japan’s Immigration Services Agency, the service will be implemented. Passengers of eligible flights will receive a pamphlet and an entry card during check-in procedures, allowing them to use the waiting time before departure to complete passport verification, photograph taking, and fingerprinting processes. At entry, presenting a pre-verification certification will suffice, eliminating waiting times upon arrival. Only those with short-term stay visas are eligible. As usual, passengers can also undergo immigration inspection upon arrival at the destination airport.

The eligible flights include Tigerair Taiwan’s services to Asahikawa, Hakodate, Akita, Sendai, Fukushima, Ibaraki, Niigata, Komatsu, Okayama, and Miyazaki; China Airlines’ services to Takamatsu and Kagoshima; EVA Air’s services to Sendai and Komatsu; and Starlux Airlines’ services to Hakodate and Kumamoto, covering a total of 16 routes and 134 flights.

The program will also be implemented during the 2024 winter holiday and Spring Festival period, with this year’s expansion to include 13 airports in Japan.
