Have you guys heard about the possible resident renewal fee increase? I saw on the news that it might go from 6,000円 to around 30,000–40,000円.
If that actually happens, how are families with 4–5 people supposed to afford that? And what about people who only get 1-year visas and have to renew every single year? That’s a huge amount to pay again and again.
It’s not official yet, but apparently they’re considering it and honestly stuff like this makes it feel like Japan’s attitude toward foreigners is slowly getting worse.
I also saw comments online with some Japanese people saying they should raise the fee even more…
And if they really do this, it’s gonna hit a lot of foreigners hard. Some people literally won’t be able to afford renewing every year anymore. At this point it kinda feels like they’re just trying to milk foreigners for every last drop while acting like we’re the problem.
