The Japanese government has approved an increase in visa fees for Nigerians and other foreign nationals following a revision of a related Cabinet order.
The country’s local media, Japan Times, reported on Saturday that the decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting on Friday and marks the first revision of visa fees in 48 years, since 1978.
Under the new structure, the fee for a single-entry visa will rise from ¥3,000 ($18.60) to ¥15,000 ($92.99), while a multiple-entry visa will increase from ¥6,000 ($37.20) to ¥30,000 ($187.97).
The revised fees will apply to applications submitted on or after July 1.
