Japan wants to help manage the rising costs of its immigration system by making tourist visas significantly more expensive in the first fee increase in nearly half a century...
The decision was approved at a government cabinet meeting on 19 June 2026 and will take effect on 1 July 2026. It is the first revision of Japan's visa fees since 1978.
The most immediate impact will be felt by tourists and business travellers from countries that require a visa to enter Japan. Under the new pricing structure, the fee for a single-entry visas will rise from ¥3,000 to ¥15,000. A multiple-entry visa, which allows travellers to visit Japan several times during a specified period, will increase from ¥6,000 to ¥30,000. The amounts are equivalent to roughly €87 and €175 respectively. (RH: The euro amounts don't seem right)
