Immigration Procedure Flow
At New Chitose Airport, the arrivals lobby for international flights is located on the second floor of the terminal. The process from aircraft arrival to entry into Japan is as follows: Arrival → Immigration Inspection → Baggage Claim → Customs → Entry. Below is a brief overview of each step.

① After Arrival, Disembark from the Aircraft：
Follow the airport signs to the immigration inspection area. At New Chitose Airport, the arrivals lobby is located on the second floor of the international terminal.

② Immigration Inspection：
This is a mandatory process when entering Japan. In addition to your passport, prepare your visa if required, as well as the immigration card distributed on the aircraft. Line up at the immigration inspection counter and present your passport and immigration card to the officer. Once you receive the entry stamp, the procedure is complete.
However, during peak arrival times, the area may become crowded. When making plans, it is recommended to allow extra time. Additionally, filling out the immigration card in advance will help the procedure go more smoothly.

③ Claim Your Checked Baggage：
Retrieve your checked baggage from the carousel designated for your arriving flight.

④ Pass Through Customs：
If you have any items to declare, proceed through the red gate. If not, proceed through the green gate. If you have purchased any duty-free goods, please declare them.
