I’m sure most of you are aware that Japan is going more and more digital for customs when returning to Japan. I have used the Visit Japan site on my last several trips home to the US. However there were still paper forms available on the plane. When I came back to Japan from a school trip in Australia they no longer give the paper forms on the plane. You can find paper ones after you pick up your luggage. However using Visit Japan web is easier if you have an account. If you don’t have one yet I suggest you make one before leaving or returning to Japan. The link to the website is below. I’m wondering if eventually the paper forms will no longer be available.Visit Japan Web 2024-08-14 18:33 JST". . .openings for engineer jobs related to the production of semiconductors or chipmaking equipment in fiscal 2023 jumped 14.24-fold from 10 years before" -- Copy and pasted by KirkJapan chip industry talent race heats up 2024-08-13 15:28 JSTKirk here. For better or worse, this community is set up as a "page," not a "group." That means only "editors" can post, and participants can only comment on threads initiated by editors. However, anyone can become an editor. So, I'd like to encourage all of you who are willing to do a little volunteer work or have content you'd like to share to contact me. I'll be more than happy to give you editing privileges. And being an editor doesn't mean you have to post—it just gives you the option to do so when the spirit moves you.P.S. In the past, editors ('yours truly' included) sometimes had to endure rather harsh criticism and/or sarcasm for problems with posts (real or imagined, important or trivial). However, in recent years, the community has been very peaceful. I think you can expect a generally warm, appreciative reception. :) 2024-08-12 18:30 JSTKirk here.
