The Japanese government has approved plans to raise fees for foreign travelers. The new measures are expected to take effect in fiscal year 2026 and will affect key stages of travel – from visa application to departure from the country.

The exact amounts of the future fees and taxes have not yet been determined. The authorities intend to review practices in other countries and assess the potential impact of these changes on inbound tourism.
