Japan visa fees no major hike for you.
Here's what changed from 1 July 2026.

You may have seen alarming headlines about Japan's visa fee hike. Let me break it down clearly, straight from the official Embassy of Japan website in India.

🇮🇳 FOR INDIAN NATIONALS (effective 1 July 2026)

Single Visa: ₹500
Multiple / Double Visa: ₹500

*The transit visa is abolished.
*VFS service fee will be charged additionally.

No change. Same as before. ₹500 is all you pay.

FOR OTHER NATIONALS (non-Indian)

Single Visa: ₹8,650
Multiple / Double Visa: ₹17,350

*The transit visa is abolished.
*VFS service fee will be charged additionally.

So if you are an Indian passport holder planning to study, work, or visit Japan, the fee structure remains extremely affordable at just ₹500.

Japan continues to be one of the most cost-effective visa destinations for Indians.

From today, 1 July 2026, a number of important migration and citizenship changes have taken effect under the Home Affairs Legislation Amendment (2026 Measures No. 1) Regulations 2026, with significant cost implications for employers, sponsors and visa applicants.

Salary thresholds

• Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT): increases to $79,423.

• Specialist Skills Income Threshold (SSIT): increases to $146,576.

• Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT): increases to $79,423. Importantly, the TSMIT will now be automatically indexed each year in line with the CSIT, rather than requiring an annual Ministerial instrument, with the first automatic indexation occurring on 1 July 2027.

Visa application charges

• Most visa application charges increase by 25%.

• Student (subclass 500) and Student Guardian (subclass 590) visa application charges increase from $2,000 to $2,500 for primary applicants.

• Second and third Working Holiday (subclass 417) and Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa application charges increase from $670 to $1,000 - a 49.3% increase.

• Resident Return (subclasses 155 and 157), Bridging visa B (subclass 020) and New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (subclass 461) visa application charges increase by 200%.

While the revised salary thresholds had been announced previously, the increased visa application charges represent a material increase in the upfront cost of sponsoring and recruiting overseas talent.

Citizenship

Australian citizenship application fees have also been indexed from 1 July 2026, with increases applying across a range of citizenship by descent and citizenship by conferral application categories.

All Applications lodged from 1 July 2026 attract the new amounts.

As always, early planning can make a significant difference. If you’d like to discuss how these changes may affect you, please get in touch with our expert at 8130476558 or email us at [email protected]

Looking for Canadian Permanent Residency but stuck in the Express Entry pool?

Don't let a low CRS score stop you from achieving your Canadian dream. One of the most effective alternatives is the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which allows Canadian provinces to nominate skilled individuals based on their local labour market needs. A provincial nomination can add 600 additional CRS points, significantly improving your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residency.
🌟 Popular PNP Pathways Include:
✅ Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
✅ Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)
✅ Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)
✅ Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)
✅ Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)
✅ Prince Edward Island (PEI)
Why consider a PNP?
✔ Lower CRS requirements in many streams
✔ Opportunities for candidates with specific skills and work experience
✔ Direct pathway to Canadian Permanent Residency
✔ Province-specific occupations in demand
Canada continues to rely on provincial immigration programs to address workforce shortages and support economic growth across the country. Recent increases in provincial nomination allocations have created more opportunities for skilled immigrants seeking PR.
At Expert Talk Migration (ETM), we help you identify the most suitable PNP pathway based on your profile, work experience, education, and long-term goals.
