March 30, 2021: A Path to Citizenship for All. Rise and Resist Immigration Vigil at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal
For people arriving by boat. We tried to book a boat ticket to Kawthoung, but it turned out the effects of Typhoon Haiyan could be felt all the way over here. While the bay directly in front of the town seemed calm, the boat operators assured us that all boats in the oceanways of Tanintharyi Division were canceled due to rough waters.
In 2013 it was difficult getting information in Myeik: few English speakers, internet so slow as to be pointless. In reality, at the time we had no way of knowing that it was a typhoon, what its name was, or origin. (the staff at the boat office that canceled our tickets guessed that it was a big storm in Vietnam).

Ore ad attendere non so ancora cosa... fortunatamente i supercomputer che ci hanno schedato avevano la matita ben appuntita... mah, chissà cosa scrivevano su quella carta carbone oramai esaurita...

Also called the "Japan Immigration Card" to be filled out on ARRIVAL.
You can now fill this, the immigration card, and the customs card (2023), out online at the Visit Japan Web at
After it's saved, the program creates a large QR code that you present at immigration and another for customs. I just capture the image of the QR code on my iPhone and save it to photos. The immigration and customs QRs are color coded. You then don't have to depend on a WiFi or network connection to show it.
The new paper card is only 1-sided (2023)

Uploaded for informational use (updated August 2018).
The frontside:
DISEMBARKATION is asking on what flight you arrived, why you are visiting Japan, and at what hotel you will be staying (with telephone number). This will be taken when you get your visa sticker in your passport.
There are also 3 questions (paraphrased):
1) Have you ever been deported from or denied entry to Japan?
2) Have you ever been convicted of a crime (Japan or elsewhere)?
3) Are you carrying drugs or guns?
The backside 3 questions are about the same as on the front but you must write out the answer Yes/No.
SIGN THE FRONT!
In addition to this card, you have to fill out a "customs declaration" card for "customs." The customs card will be taken when you go through baggage inspection. The above card is for "immigration."

Unless you said "no," both this immigration card and the customs form are given to you on the airplane before you get to Japan, giving you plenty of time to fill it out. Still, many in line ahead of you at immigration will obliviously still have blank forms proving zombies do exist.
Since 1 November 2022, you can now do this online.
