What to do if you test positive for new coronas overseas? The path to obtaining a “consular letter” to resolve the difficulty of returning to your home country.

The consular letter should be printed. After quarantine, the author was fortunate to be completely asymptomatic (aside from some stress-related mental illness). However, he tried the PCR test again, but as expected by the clinic staff, he tested positive again. Not wanting to remain depressed, I immediately took pictures of the aforementioned positive certificate, the recovery certificate, and my passport with a digital camera (a smartphone is also OK), and prepared an image file so that the total size would not exceed 10 MB. I emailed the application to the consulate representative, along with flight information for my return flight. After that, if the documents are complete and approved by the consulate, a “Consular Letter” will be sent to you in PDF format via email. The email said, “Please print the PDF file and present it at the airline office,” so ask for it at the hotel reception desk, or if the hotel is attached to a business center, print it at the business center and have it ready. The consulate will contact the airline before your flight, so if you change your mind after applying, you will need to inform the consulate again. Then, information is entered into the fast track using the “MySOS application” (or “MySOS Web”) of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Immigration Health Verification Center, which is required for returning home, but for the “certificate of examination within 72 hours before departure”, it is registered as “None”. Although the vaccine has been administered three times, the screen will show “yellow” because there is no inspection certificate within 72 hours before departure.
