Japan plans to increase travel costs starting in fiscal year 2027 to manage overtourism and immigration system strain. Proposals include tripling the "Sayonara tax" from 1,000 to 3,000 Yen for departing travelers. Additionally, visa and residency fees are under consideration for significant hikes, with permanent residency applications potentially rising from 10,000 to over 100,000 Yen. These measures aim to fund infrastructure upgrades and crowd management initiatives.
