Immigration Services Agency asks for input on the visa fee increases

The mystery gate to Japan's un-immigration policy

Increases in the visa fees is not news to foreign residents, whatever their status of residence. The government has indicated the visa extension and change of status of residence fees will increase substantially.

And a whopping 200,000 yen for permanent residence

The Immigration Services Agency has a presence on social media, providing updates, and even has a mailing list. I learned about the most recent info via Reddit, the huge worldwide news and social media network.

ISA has a 御意見箱, an opinion box, soliciting public opinion on the policies in 14 languages.

How do the new visa policies affect you? Do you think the fees are fair or excessive?
