Five countries including Italy and Turkey have agreed to ease COVID-19 quarantine rules for travelers who have vaccine passports issued by Japan from next week, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.
The other countries are Austria, Bulgaria and Poland, with Japan currently in negotiations with dozens more. The arrangement is one-way only, with Japan not recognizing similar certificates from those countries for the time being, a government official said in a press briefing.
The vaccine passports, which municipalities will begin accepting applications for on Monday, will initially be in paper form only and show information including the holder's name, passport number, the type of vaccine they got and the date they received the shots.
A digital version with a QR code containing the data could become available at a later date, the official said.
In addition to the countries that will recognize the vaccine passport, South Korea will accept the certificate as one of the documents necessary to apply for exemption from a 14-day quarantine period.
Estonia has also agreed to accept the vaccine passport, but currently does not impose a quarantine period on travelers whether or not they have had their shots.
