Japan Visa Fees Increase from July 1, 2026｜Costs After Receiving a COE
Japan’s visa fees will increase for applications accepted at overseas diplomatic missions on or after July 1, 2026. A single-entry visa will cost approximately ¥15,000 and a multiple-entry visa approximately ¥30,000. A COE application itself has no government fee payable to the Immigration Services Agency, but after receiving a COE, applicants should check visa fees, agency handling fees, translation, courier, travel, and other practical costs.
