To travel to Korea.

I am considering a trip to Korea, but I am wondering if there are any special visa or inspection requirements for Japanese living in Hawaii to visit Korea at this time.
If anyone knows anything or has been to Korea recently, please let us know.

A visa is required.

My daughter-in-law (Japanese nationality) living in Hawaii and my son-in-law (Korean nationality living in Hawaii) planned a trip to Korea to show my grandson, but my daughter needed a visa and applied for it at the consulate, but they said it would take 4 weeks to get the visa and my grandson's summer vacation would be over, so only my son-in-law and grandson So my son-in-law and grandson went alone. I heard that if you make your plans early enough, you can get the visa.

I am going to Korea.
Currently, a tourist visa is required to enter Korea for travel purposes.
To enter Korea, you need to submit a negative test certificate at least 2 days before departure. Also, it is required to retest within 3 days of entry and report the results.
I applied at the Korean consulate in Japan for a family visitor visa, which is a different type of visa from a tourist visa, and it was approved within a week or so while I was temporarily back in Japan. The tourist visa takes a little longer (about 2 weeks). I think the waiting time from application to approval is different from the Korean Consulate in Hawaii, but just for your information.

I am always interested in your opinions.
I have a question about US passport renewal.
I would like to know if any of you have renewed your passport at the U.S. Embassy in Hawaii, or if you know of anyone who has renewed their passport at the U.S. Embassy in Japan when it expired, and how long it took to do so.

The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo ・ Consulate's website states the following


Q. How long does it take to renew or issue a passport?

A. Usually about 3 ～ 4 weeks.

Q. Can I expedite the passport application process for a fee, like in the U.S.?

A. We do not offer that service outside the US. If you need your passport earlier than usual for travel or other reasons, please consult with us at the time of application.

Hi

I'm going back to Japan temporarily this month
I have a 5 year old child and I heard that a negative certificate is not required for children under 6
A corona test is also not required ？
I checked the FAQ on water border control and it seems a little

how did you find it if you have children under 6 years old ？
if you have any information, I would be happy to exchange information here
thank you in advance!

When I left the U.S., I was asked to present the certificate at the check-in counter and the gate, and I was seriously checked. When I left the U.S., I was asked to show it at the check-in counter and at the gate and was seriously checked.

I had a PCR check at CVS Walgreens. It may depend on the time of the year, but the results came out faster at Walgreens.

＃ Mr. 2

I guess children don't need it
Thank you
I am considering which child should have the test
I am looking for one in the South Bay

＃ Mr. 3
I see.
I guess it would be more reliable to bring my own
but still, the test Japan is asking for sounds painful
I feel sorry for the children under 6 years old,
I don't know if they can stand it 💦

thank you all! ！ Thank you all!

In the exchange square of Vivinavi Hawaii, the topic "About my return to Japan with preschool experience" is introduced. It would be better to check with the airline company. The Japanese government is not to be trusted because of their constant changes in what they say.

② -1 Inspection certificate for children
We request that children also obtain an inspection certificate.
However, taking into consideration the fact that many countries do not have a system of inspection for children who are not yet in school, the quarantine service, after asking about individual circumstances, may require a child （ generally under 6 years of age ） who enters the country accompanied by a parent or other caregiver who lives with him or her to have a negative test certificate. If the child has a negative test certificate, the child does not need to have a test certificate.

When I ask people around me, some say they can do it ？ and others say they can't ？
what is the actual situation ？
please tell me if you know anyone who can help me out.

Last year, when my 24-year-old son, who has dual citizenship, went to renounce his Japanese citizenship, the consulate advised him to keep his Japanese citizenship because he could renew his passport after the age of 21.
They cannot force you to renounce your nationality, so if you apply for it, they can make you one.

I was able to renew without any problems.
The receptionist told me
that I have to choose my nationality at the age of 21, but since I haven't decided yet, I will go through the renewal procedure, but if I receive a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I will give up my Japanese nationality at that time.
Has anyone who has renewed his/her citizenship been told the same thing ？?

My son applied for a passport the year before last and was told the same thing.
but it has been 2 years and no letter has been received.

My acquaintance is in his 40s,
he is Japanese born in Hawaii but he still holds dual citizenship.
He has never been to Japan, so he renews it at the Honolulu Consulate.
However, he said he is trying not to cut it off because if he does, it is very difficult to get a certified copy because his relatives are not in Japan. He said that the letter he was told when he applied for his son's application, he has never been told by the consulate about renouncing his nationality.

I would like to share my experience
I hope it will help someone

I live in Hawaii
The inspection is free by nomi
I uploaded it to My sos and in a few hours
it turned blue.
After online check-in, at airport baggage check
show my sos
2 children's names were mixed up, one with US passport name on airline ticket, one with Japanese passport name
Japanese passport name on My sos
input I entered my passport name
I was nervous because it was different from usual, but I could relax as long as I could get on
I was asked to show my sos after arriving at Narita, but the free WiFi was unstable and I had to search the screen. I follow the flow and when I'm told it's blue, I say yes and proceed, even though it's not completely blue
Of course there are people waiting for it to come out before proceeding
I approach the counter to show my sos
It's still coming round and round, oh no! I wait desperately but it's my turn
it's blue but no connection
I show them the screen
I had a piece of paper but it seems the screen is better after all
is it Wi-Fi free I'm having trouble connecting I was told to wait, so I connected again from the beginning, and after a while it connected and I was able to get through
like this
the WiFi connection was bad, so once you get a good connection and open the app, it's better to keep it that way, but sometimes there happens to be text in the app, so you have to be careful.
I think we were in line for about 30 minutes
We were in the middle of the plane
Small children were given priority
There were people walking around in different lanes, but they weren't in cramped seats or wheel chairs.
I don't know why I heard a Japanese guy in the back talking to someone who probably lives in Japan
I guess everyone is so serious that they do Mysos
It would have been faster to go without doing this ？ ！ I was just like that. I don't really know what the lane was

that's all for your reference
if it helps mothers returning home with their children ！
if you can get on the plane, you're all set good luck!

The kids two doors down from us were having a loud launch on the sidewalk in front of our house.

But when I heard the siren of a police car or fire truck, I panicked and pulled back inside my house.
