Japan to increase foreign entry Visa fees from July 1: What it means for Indian travellers

Japan is set to significantly hike foreign entry visa fees from July 1, 2026. Single-entry visas will jump fivefold to 15,000 yen, with multiple-entry and transit visas also seeing substantial increases. While this impacts Indian travellers, experts believe Japan will remain a popular destination. Authorities state the changes aim to cover processing costs, not deter tourism. Travellers are advised to check current fees and plan accordingly.
