If you are going to ask here, you might as well ask a lawyer who is an expert in immigration law. If you want free, every Friday afternoon from 4 ： 30
KZOO Radio AM1210, there is a 30 minute program by Dr. Hidani, a lawyer who specializes in immigration law. Why don't you ask him there? It is in Japanese and might be good.

I am planning to go to Hawaii in July, and I would like to know if you know of any clinics in Tokyo that offer inexpensive PCR and antigen tests that will allow me to enter Hawaii, or if you have actually been to Hawaii and would like to know more information. I would like to get the test as inexpensively as possible.

Continuing with #19, regarding the affidavit, it seems that foreigners without permanent resident status still need to submit it.

Thank you.
I am a permanent resident, but it would be more convenient to have the vaccine.

By the way, is it OK to have 2 doses of vaccine ？
or is it necessary to have 3 doses ？

Also, if I am a permanent resident or citizen without vaccine, is there any quarantine ？?

Two doses of vaccine should be sufficient.
For unvaccinated U.S. citizens and permanent residents,
quarantine for 5 days after entry to the U.S. is recommended but not mandatory.

Time to check in at Zipair Connections from Maui

Question
#1
  • ritou
  • mail
  • 2022/06/18 13:42

We will depart from Maui to Narita in early July.
Hawaiian Airlines flies from Maui to Honolulu and Zipair flies from Honolulu to Narita.
The connecting time on the ticket is 2 hours.

If you have checked luggage, you will need to pick up your luggage in Honolulu and then go to the Zipair counter, which should take about 15 minutes. And if you consider the time it takes to walk to the check-in counter, you will only have about 1 hour and 35 minutes before your flight departs. ？ If I take the previous flight to Honolulu, I will have about 3.5 hours to make a connection on my ticket.

For those who have recently flown to Tokyo by Zipair, how long did it take to check in in Honolulu and how crowded was the airport ？
I would be very grateful if you could tell me.
Thank you very much.

We are always very grateful for your help here.
I have a question for those of you who live in Hawaii and your children received free PCR at Nomi Health.
I see that they are extending the free PCR for residents after 6/1

1 ． Did you need proof of Hawaii residency to get a free PCR test with your child ？
（ I have school ID and HMSA card ）.

2 ． I would like to register the name on the negative certificate with my Japanese passport
I would like to register the name on the reservation with my Japanese name
The HMSA insurance that I have is in the English name for both me and my child.
Can you give me a negative certificate in my Japanese name ？

3 ． How long did it take to get the results from Flea Health if I took the test two days before ？
Did anyone else get the results last minute? ？

Any information would be appreciated.

Hello.
I took my child and Ala Moana parking in early June.
I gave the child a Japanese name. Insurance is in English name but
it is ok. I did not bring my school ID.
I was told that negative proof would be available in 24-48 hours.
I took the test at 8am the morning before and received an email the next day around 11am.

I am relieved to know that the name thing was not a problem.

It seems that it is ok to delay the flight within 24 hours.

PCR test for returning to Japan after summer vacation in June

Question
#1
  • ybt

  • 2022/05/10 15:18

Hello, I will be returning to Japan with my elementary school child during the summer vacation in June.　 According to
information, the lowest price was about $ 120, but I heard from someone who has already returned to Japan that it was ok with free inspection. So, I think we can probably go with the free inspection.
However, the free test will be available until the end of May, and it has not been decided yet whether the test will be available in June or not.
❶ If you know of a place where you can take a free test after June,
❷ please let us know.
Thank you very much.

Nomi Health, but the site only allows reservations until the end of June, but it has been extended until the end of November.
There may be a possibility of discontinuation in the middle of the program if demand disappears, but for now it is a safe bet.

Please note that it is exactly 72 hours before flight departure. I wanted to know the result earlier, so I took the test just before 71 hours. If there is a flight delay, it should be no problem if it is within 24 hours of the scheduled time.

I am a 17 year old student.
I am here in Hawaii for language study.
I speak Japanese more often than not because the school I attend is overwhelmingly Japanese.
I don't intend to blame the environment around me at all, in fact, I can't thank the many Japanese people enough for helping me, but I would like to have more opportunities to use English and interact with the local people. I would like to know if there are any activities, events, volunteer activities, etc. that you would recommend.
Please let me know if there is anything you know.
Thank you very much.

Studying English in Hawaii at the age of 17, that's a wonderful experience.
And your attitude of not blaming the environment is wonderful ！ and your willingness to interact with the locals is also wonderful ！
I run an English school in Waikiki, and like you, there are people who are 'struggling' in other schools with a high percentage of Japanese students in their classes. I run an English school in Waikiki, and like you, I know people who have 'struggled' in other schools with a high percentage of Japanese students and large class sizes

A student from Switzerland found volunteer work in a preschool. Good luck to you too ！.

I too think Yoo's attitude is wonderful. I myself had similar problems when I studied in Hawaii, so I understand.
I had the opportunity to get to know local people through volunteering and learning.
At places like Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii and Surfrider Oahu Chapter, which regularly conduct beach cleanups and other activities, the staff was very personable and everyone was kind. In some places, everyone has a strong bond with each other and you may be treated like a stranger, but the more times you show up, the more people will talk to you. I am sure that with your attitude, if you take your time and don't rush, you will be accepted. If you like, you can inquire about it. Recently, some events that were closed in Corona are being resumed, so I think the timing is also good.

When you are a language student, it's hard to buy with the locals.

I rarely interact with Japanese people. Well, I am not a language student, but I live in
Hawaii.

My recommendation is to go to a Christian church service. Preferably one that doesn't have
Japanese language services.

I am a Christian, so I attend services, but I don't
attend Japanese services now.

Also, I live in an environment where I have no interaction with Japanese people.

Please visit your local church. Maybe you will find what you are looking for there

Yoo,
you seem like a very solid person.
Have you heard of the website meetup.com ？
If you search by hobbies or interests, such as hiking, volleyball, or Japanese language learners in Oahu, you can find activity groups.
Why don't you try to find one?

Narita Airport Fast Track Quarantine freeWIFI connection

Question
#1

  • 2022/06/12 20:02

Hello. I am planning to return to Japan next month
and was going to
rent a pocket Wi-Fi from Hawaii, but it was already fully booked.

If I can't connect to freeWi-Fi immediately at Narita airport quarantine
I don't think I can use the fast track app on my phone
（ It's an optional app so it doesn't seem absolutely necessary ）
I'll have a hard time entering the country I'm worried about that.

My kids and I have unlocked sim free iphones, but
we usually use H2o sims, so we don't have a contract with a major US cell company.

1. Is there a freeWi-Fi connection in the quarantine area at Narita Airport ？
Is there a password to use the Wi-Fi ？

2. ？
3 Is there a recommended US cell phone company that allows data use in Japan ？

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I recently returned to Japan.

I was able to connect to free wifi at Narita airport right away.

There was a PCR check at Narita Airport when I entered Japan

I would not have been without FREE WIFI.

If you have an address in Japan, you can rent a

Wifi router for delivery or pickup at Narita Airport. Since the yen is weak against the dollar, paying in yen is a good deal, and

I think Japanese router rentals are faster during your stay in Japan.

It depends on the model.

Regarding question 2, please look up Japan sim card on amazon and you will find some information. I am currently in Japan and it is working fine. I was in Haneda, but when I checked the connection after landing, it was not working and I was very frustrated. In the end, it was just bad reception near the tarmac, and once the plane door opened, it stabilized.
