Increasing Security Warning for International Airports

If you have been to Japan in the past you would have appreciated how efficient clearing customs is at any airport compared to our home countries, for those of you that use Brisbane International Airport you know what I mean!

Well it is hoped that this efficiency will continue, however travelers this year will experience an extra security feature that may cause inconvenient delays to your travel plans.

The Japanese Government have introduced new anti terrorism laws that will come into effect in late November. The news laws will consist of every foreigner entering into Japan will be photographed, fingerprinted and interviewed.

It is has not been made clear at this point what the “interview” will consist of, however anyone refusing to cooperate will be denied entry according to Japanese Immigration.

We suggest you contact your flight carrier to make sure you sufficient time to clear customs and transfer if needed to the domestic terminal and be able to make your domestic flights.

The Japanese Government have strssed that anyone who does not wish to cooperate will be denied entry to the country! PLEASE DON’T antagonise Japan airport officials during the screening process!! If you would like to voice your opinions on this matter the safest time would be when you are departing Japan.
