Japan Travel Ban updates for this week. In this video, I’ll share with you some of the initiatives educationisnottourism.com took last week and the most important updates related to the Japanese border policy.

This week we could talk directly with the Ministry of Education (first time for me) and a formal request to open the border will be given to the Chief Cabinet Secretary next week.

Things are slowly moving and the media have really started to constantly talk about the issue. I, and the team at educationisnottourism.com, will continue to work to support international students to enter Japan, please stay positive and we will hopefully hear some good news soon!

💪 WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER 💪
Let me know in the comments if you are aware of any significant initiative and campaign that you think I should share in the next video. Please let me know if you have any suggestions about the content to post.

🚀 HELP ME SHARE THE MESSAGE 🚀
I wanted to help and raise this issue, I can not do this alone so I met with some of the language school associations to discuss what we can do to lobby the government on behalf of all international students.

The response from the school representatives was that the government highly weighs the impact to those students who are most directly affected and so we created a form to help capture that information to be able to share with the government more easily. Some responses captured so far are in this article.

I know many people reading this have already been pushing for answers from the government but we would like to ask that as many of you as possible share your story and pass this on to friends too, in order to be able to supply the school representatives with as much helpful material as we can.

We ask if you are willing to share your story that you please fill the form here as soon as you can, so we can use the information to push for students to be able to enter Japan for the April term as soon as possible.

The form can be filled in your native language, English or Japanese. If you are an international student waiting to go to Japan, even if you didn’t use my company to apply for a school, you can enter here: https://forms.gle/mS53z3p3NrkEu6b17

I hope I will see all of you in Japan soon.
