Japan, Singapore, South Korea Tighten Entry and Security Rules for Travelers in 2026

Japan, Singapore, and South Korea are implementing stricter entry and security measures for international travelers starting in 2026. These changes aim to manage overtourism, address infrastructure strain, and enhance border security. Japan will shift its tax-free shopping system to an airport refund process and increase its departure tax. Singapore is introducing a 'No-Boarding' directive. These measures are intended to ensure sustainable tourism growth without completely restricting visitor access.
