Raising Of Immigration Fees In Japan Could Get Approved

In Japan, the raising of immigration fees could soon become a reality as the Japanese House of Representatives approved a bill to raise the ceiling on fees for immigration procedures, according to a news article by Jiji Press. This means the approved legislation will be reviewed and eventually be decided upon by the nation’s House of Councillors (upper chamber).

To put things in perspective, posted below is the entire article of Jiji Press. Some parts in boldface…

Japan’s House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill to raise the ceiling on fees for immigration procedures, making it likely to be enacted during the current parliamentary session ending in July.

The amendment to the immigration control and refugee recognition law was approved by a majority vote at a plenary meeting of the lower chamber of the Diet, with backing from the Liberal Democratic Party-led ruling camp and opposition parties including the Democratic Party for the People and Sanseito.

If the bill clears the House of Councillors, the upper chamber, the new fees would be implemented within this fiscal year, which ends next March.

Under the revision, the ceiling would be raised to 100,000 yen for permission to change residence status and extend the period of stay and to 300,000 yen for permanent residence permission. Actual fees would be determined based on a relevant ordinance within these limits.

Currently, the fee cap for the three categories is 10,000 yen.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think it is likely the House of Councillors will approve the bill to raise immigration fees? How do you think this will impact foreign immigration in Japan in the long term? Do you think reforming immigration will become a huge part of Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae’s legacy?

#LegalImmigration #Citizenship This article explains “legal immigration“ then versus now. Very enlightening! All most of our early ancestors had to do was just show up.

To all the tech bros defending Elon and consequently Trump -- Elon won't see your defenses but your immigrant friends do and they remember.
