Temporary Visitor status is not extendable for continued sightseeing — Japanese immigration law treats that as impermissible. Extensions are granted only where an unavoidable circumstance physically prevents departure, such as a medical emergency or a natural disaster, and require documentary proof.

**Cost detail.** From 1 October 2026 the flat ¥6,000 fee (¥5,500 online) is replaced by a tiered schedule based on the period granted: ¥10,000 for up to 3 months, rising to ¥75,000 for five years or more. The fee is fixed by the date the application is accepted, so filing before 1 October keeps the old rate.

**How.** Apply for Permission for Extension of Period of Stay at the Regional Immigration Services Bureau covering your address, well before the date stamped in your passport.

**If you cannot extend.** Where an extension is not available, the only lawful course is to leave before your permitted stay ends and apply again from outside Japan.
