Special Considerations for Japanese Vaccination Documents

- Translation Requirement: Both the original Japanese record and the English translation must be submitted together as one file.
- Common Issues:
- Japanese vaccination booklets often use abbreviations or local vaccine names that differ from Singapore's schedule.
- Missing English equivalents can delay approval if not properly translated.
VisaOne ensures that Japanese vaccination documents are accurately translated and formatted to meet NIR requirements, avoiding unnecessary delays.
