Japan's Immigration Services Agency revised the fees for change of status of residence, extension of period of stay and permanent residence from 1 October 2026. Fees for changes and extensions, which used to be a flat amount, now depend on the length of the period of stay granted. This affects international students and foreign workers in Japan when they renew or change their visa.
