The passengers who have a period of re-entry permission, will be able to enter Japan directly.
However, if the permission expires, the passengers have to contact the Japanese Embassy in Dhaka.
In addition, the new policy has reduced the duration of mandatory stay for quarantine at government-designated facilities from six days to three days after entering Japan.
