Common questions

Do I need a separate arrival form for each country?
Yes. Each country runs its own arrival form on its own official site, and one country's form never covers another. Countries that don't ask for one are marked above.
When should I fill in each form?
Japan: No set window. Fill it in before you travel. South Korea: You can submit up to 3 days before arrival in Korea (KST). If you do not arrive within 72 hours, the card expires and a new one must be submitted.
How do I avoid fake arrival form websites?
Use the official links on this page. Look-alike sites copy the names of these forms and charge fees. Our list of official warnings shows the real address for each form.
