Japan Increases Tourist Visa Fees

Japan has increased its visa fees.

Japan's visa fees for tourists are now five times higher.

From July 1, foreign visitors must pay 15,000 yen for a single-entry visa and 30,000 yen for a multi-entry visa.

This is a big increase from the previous fees of 3,000 yen and 6,000 yen.

Japan is famous for its cherry blossom trees.

The Foreign Minister said the changes are due to inflation and exchange rate fluctuations.

The new visa fees start on July 1 and will affect all applications from that date.

Last year, Japan had 42.7 million international tourists.

Japan has visa-free arrangements with 74 countries, including the UK.

Some countries charge per night, like Bhutan with a $100 daily fee.

The UK government advises Brits to check their passport is valid for their visit to Japan.

Kyoto is a popular place to visit in Japan.

You can get a visa on arrival in Japan for up to 90 days for tourism or business.

For long-term stays or work, you must meet Japan's entry requirements.

If you overstay your permission, you risk arrest and a fine.

The UK government has warned about travel disruption due to the Middle East situation.

Your travel plans may be affected even if you're not going to the Middle East.
