Japan Visa Fee SHOCK: 100,000+ for Permanent Residency & 10x Renewal Hike?! (New Proposals)

Japan is proposing massive increases to visa and Permanent Resident (PR) fees—a change that took me completely by surprise! A rumor I saw on Reddit turned out to be based on an emerging reality: fees for permanent residency could exceed ¥100,000, and visa renewal/change fees may jump up to ¥40,000, a more than 10-fold increase from the recent past. This video dives into the details of these new proposals, why the Japanese government is targeting foreign residents to fund immigration improvements and deportations, and whether this policy makes sense, especially for low-paid workers. I also discuss what I think Japan should be doing to raise revenue from tourism instead, including charging for "Visa on Arrival" and scrapping tax-free shopping. What do you think? Will these fees affect you? Let me know in the comments below! In this video: Why Japan is rethinking its famously low visa fees. The exact proposed fee hikes for visa renewal and Permanent Residency (PR). Comparing Japan's fees to exorbitant fees in the UK, US, and Australia. Potential future fees for Zairyu Card renewals and visa applications. The government's stated goals for using this new revenue (shorter processing times, deportations). 🔗 https://www.retirejapan.com/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/202... 0:00 - Intro & The Reddit Post that Started It All 0:31 - The 'Foreigner Problem' Rhetoric 0:58 - What Japan Should Be Doing: Getting More Money from Tourists 1:18 - Scrap Tax-Free Shopping for Tourists 1:53 - Charge for Visa on Arrival (J-ESTA Proposal) 3:02 - The Real Shock: Japan is Going After Foreign Residents 3:09 - The New Visa Fee Proposals (Just Proposals, Not Law Yet) 3:34 - Japan's Historically Low Fees vs. UK/USA/Australia 4:18 - The Previous Fee Hike in April 2025 (4k to 6k, 8k to 10k) 5:12 - The NEW Proposed Fees: 10x Hike! 5:46 - Is it Fair?
