Immigration News Alert
Japan Increases Visa Fees Effective July 2026
Key Point
- Japan will significantly increase visa application fees for single-entry and multiple-entry visas starting July 1, 2026.
New Visa Fee Structure
Japan announced a substantial increase in visa issuance fees for applications submitted on or after July 1, 2026.
- Single-entry visas: JPY 3,000 to JPY 15,000
- Multiple-entry visas: JPY 6,000 to JPY 30,000
Application and Payment Process
The revised fees will be payable at the time of issuance at the Japanese embassy or consulate processing the application. Visa applications must be submitted outside Japan and cannot be obtained on arrival.
Processing typically takes around one week, though timelines may vary depending on the case.
Key Considerations
A visa does not guarantee entry into Japan; final admission is determined by immigration authorities at the port of entry.
