Do you need a COVID test for a layover in Japan when flying from Bangkok to Canada?

We just went thru on Thursday. We are Canadian’s and had to show Arrive Can app and vaccinated cert at Suvarnabhumi. No pre test and surprisingly there was no temp checks that we seen. Landed at Narita in Terminal 1 and departed terminal 1. Took the red eye into Narita and grabbed a nap room for 7 hours before our 16:15 flight to Vancouver. Everything went smoothly no worries. Enough shops open to get anything you need. Cheers and safe travels.

Just did it yesterday. Don’t need anything. Hardly anything open in Narita. Have to look hard for restaurant/bar. Hopefully short layover.

Check the website of the airline you are flying with or call the airline.

No

I will be doing this flight in a few weeks. As of now, no testing at all needed if you are transitting. Japan have just changed the rules for anyone actually entering Japan, but transit at the same airport (not getting luggage, not passing immigration etc) is all good.

No. Does Canada require some test? Then you do not need it. Covid test to transit Japan airports not required nor to board NH flights (ANA). You cannot even change departure terminals in NRT unless you have every requirement to enter Japan. Entering Japan takes 2-6 hours thanks to some of the world’s most complicated and time airport consuming entry procedures, and impossible unless you live there already, have a J-passport, or a new entry visa. Visa exempt entries are banned in principle, and they have no tourists for 2 years. When you arrive at a Japanese airport connecting passengers will deplane first and directed to your departure gate. Very easy, not eveything in NRT airport Term 1 is open, but there a a few options.

"YES"

Are you changing airports? When I went last year if transiting from the same airport then no but of going out the airport to another airport then yes.. that information was clear when booking the flight.. ANA were amazing to travel with..

No

As long as you are laying over at the same airport you are landing in . If you have to transfering airports (Narita & Haneda) you need to have your Covid test.

I thought Covid tests were specifically if you left customs ? 

Japan doesn't need if layover only

You don't need a covid test for Canada but i heard some off the airline ask for a test anyways. I checked on their website and their info is outdated.

Following...doing the same flight
