List of Designated Third Country Nationals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of designated third country nationals that require advance authorization to access US military bases in Japan.[1][2] It should be considered by prospective attendees of the various friendship festivals held at US bases around Japan.

List as of 2011

Inclusion of France

[edit]

While most countries on the list are those with a history of instability or tension with the US, the inclusion of France in 2009 did attract some media attention in Japan when a French citizen was blocked from visiting a "Friendship Day" at Negishi Heights in Yokohama in 2010.[3] As of 2011 France had been removed from the list.[2]
