"The fee will be increased from the current ¥3,000 to ¥15,000 for a single-entry visa and from ¥6,000 to ¥30,000 for a multiple-entry visa. The new fees will apply to applications submitted on or after July 1."
I converted and rounded up to the nearest dollar, exchange rates will vary slightly.
"The fee will be increased from the current $19 to $93 for a single-entry visa and from $38 to $186 for a multiple-entry visa. The new fees will apply to applications submitted on or after July 1."
But yes, this is a trivial amount when compared to the overall cost of a trip to Japan.
Prior to the bill’s enactment, the statutory upper limit for fees to change residency statuses or extend a period of stay was ¥10,000 ($63), while the cap for permanent residency applications was also set at ¥10,000. Under the revision, those ceilings will be raised to ¥100,000 and ¥300,000, respectively.
Using their own conversion, that changes the price max from $63 to $630 - $1890.
So $90-$185 US?
I can see why they’re unconcerned this will slow the rate.
