## Notes
Extendable for 3 additional months.

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **yes**
- Must leave the country: **no**
- Cost: ¥10,000

Under a bilateral agreement with Japan, your nationality may extend a 90-day Temporary Visitor stay by a further 90 days, to 180 days in total. This is not automatic and is decided by the Regional Immigration Bureau.

**Cost detail.** From 1 October 2026, ¥10,000 for a period of up to 3 months, replacing the previous flat ¥6,000.

**How.** Apply at the Regional Immigration Services Bureau nearest your address before your current permission expires, with an explanatory letter, proof of accommodation and an onward ticket.

**If you cannot extend.** Most other nationalities cannot extend at all except for documented unavoidable circumstances, so confirm your own eligibility rather than relying on general guidance.
