VISA

The “Cabinet Order on Fees Collected by Consular Officers,” which sets forth visa fees, has been amended and comes into effect on July 1, 2026. For visa applications accepted at overseas diplomatic missions on or after that date, the fee, converted into Japanese yen, will be approximately 15,000 yen for a single-entry visa and approximately 30,000 yen for a multiple-entry visa. As a general rule, payment shall be made in the local currency of the country (region) where the Embassy or Consulate-General of Japan issuing the visa is located.

Depending on the purpose of your visit and your nationality, fees may not be required or the amount may differ.

If a visa is not issued, no visa fee will be charged. Please note that if you apply through an agency approved by the Embassy or Consulate General of Japan, a separate handling fee charged by the agency will apply, in addition to the visa fee in the event a visa is issued.
