Do I need a visa to transfer from T2 Tokyo Narita Airport to T 1?

According to Japanese regulations, passengers with joint air tickets or ship tickets transfer at Japan International Airport. If they don't need to stay overnight, they don't need to apply for transit visas or other types of entry visas. If you need to stay overnight, you need an entry/transit visa according to whether the airport is open 24 hours a day. Therefore, whether it is necessary to apply for a visa to transfer to Japan depends on the following conditions.

Do you have a joint ticket?

Connecting ticket generally refers to the one-time ticket issued by the airline, and the flight from A to B. By default, the official divides the flight into several segments. There is only one order number for the connecting ticket. Therefore, the tickets purchased by the passengers themselves are not joint tickets. Generally speaking, passengers with joint air tickets only move in the international transit zone, do not enter the transit country, and do not need to pick up their checked baggage through the customs, so they generally do not need to apply for a transit country visa.

Is the transit airport open 24 hours a day?

According to the announcement of the China Embassy in Japan, among the many entry ports in Japan, except Haneda Airport and Kansai Airport, popular airports such as Narita Airport, Central Airport, Fukuoka Airport and Naha Airport will be closed in the middle of the night, and transit passengers are prohibited from staying overnight in the waiting hall. Therefore, even if the traveler holds a joint ticket, if the flight interval of the traveler is long and the airport is not open 24 hours, then he must enter Japan, that is, he must apply for an entry/transit visa. Otherwise, the traveler will be arranged by the security company to spend the night in the designated hotel, accompanied by the security company to check in and leave, and can not leave the hotel during this period. All expenses are borne by travelers.
