My Japan Holiday 2022 (9th August)

Dear Folks, When you are reading this blog, I would have been back to Singapore already. In the blink of the eye, 3 weeks has passed and let me recap the highlights and memories of this trip. Let's begin... ... On the night of 8th August, I took flight via Japan Airlines to Haneda Airport for the first time. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a warm and bright sun. What a sight before arrival.  Upon arrival at Haneda Airport, I was heading to the COVID screening centre and within 1 hour, I completed the screening process immigration procedures as I have downloaded the MySOS app and the fast track functions.  After collecting my luggages, I went to Yamato services to deliver my luggages to Fukuoka.  I went to the JR East Office but it was still closed. It opens at 8am and while I was waiting, I took photos at the nihonbashi replica. I also waited for Yoshinoya to open as I also wanted to eat breakfast.  After eating breakfast, I headed to the JR East Office to change my Japan Rail Pass

Hi everyone, Thank you for waiting. In this blog I just wanted to share about my visa application as mentioned earlier.  After I have collected my new passport, I booked my flight with Japan Airlines. After booking, I contacted Wanping from Tokudaw Inc and she helped me to apply for the visa through MOFA website in Japan. The documents that I emailed to her were my passport, flight and accommodation details. Within a couple of days, she emailed me the visa that she received from Japan MOFA. She also gave me a list of things that I need to do when I am applying in Singapore. Please refer to the list stated below: 1) Go to Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website 2) Book an appointment to submit documents at the Japan Embassy in Singapore 3) Prepare documents: I) Travel itinerary and cover page  or Schedule of Stay II) Written Pledge  III) Visa application form IV) Tour conductor certificate V) ERFS Certificate  VI) Passport size photograph VII) Identity Card  VIII) Certificat
