Japan has announced a five-fold increase in visa fees for foreign visitors, marking the first revision in nearly five decades. Beginning July 1, the cost of a single-entry visa will rise from 3,000 yen to 15,000 yen, while multi-entry visas will increase from 6,000 yen to 30,000 yen. Officials say the changes are necessary to account for inflation and currency fluctuations. Despite the sharp rise, the government does not expect a significant impact on tourism arrivals. #Japan #Visa #TravelNews #
