Japanese authorities are raising key immigration application fees as well as extending the stay duration for the startup visa under the designated activities category.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Visa fees are revised on April 1 each year and waived for certain nationalities. In principle, multiple-entry visas are issued only to nationals of countries that have reciprocal arrangements with Japan.
In addition, ISA is extending the stay duration for the startup visa under the designated activities category to two years. The six-month startup visa previously was only allowed for renewal once, for a total maximum stay up to one year. The total stay duration has now been extended to two years; however, the six-month visa period is unchanged.
