Japan scraps visa threshold for Chinese tourists

JAPAN will set no financial threshold for Chinese to go to Japan as individual tourists in the next 12 months starting from September 1.

According to the Japanese Foreign Ministry, Chinese applying for individual trips to Japan don't have to prove their occupational and financial status as before.

Tourists can stay in the country for 30 days, 15 days more than originally allowed. The new policy, valid for one year, aims to attract more retired people to visit Japan, officials said.

After the massive earthquake in March, Japan has taken numerous measures to revitalize the country's tourism industry by attracting more tourists from China. Last month, Japan began issuing multiple-entry visas to Chinese travelers.
