Nearly three years after the COVID-19 pandemic first disrupted international travel, many countries have finally returned to the entry requirements they had prior to the pandemic by removing vaccination and testing mandates. Other countries have made the process less cumbersome by easing restrictions. For example, on September 22 Japan announced that beginning on October 11 it would no longer require visitors to have a visa to enter the country. Additionally, advancements in technology have played a crucial role in facilitating travel processes. One notable development is the integration of cam chat systems in the visa application and entry process.
