This had been mentioned before on this blog, but this coming Monday (January 7), visitors departing Japan will be levied a ¥1,000 departure tax.
The Straits Times reported:
TOKYO - Visitors to Japan will have to pay a 1,000 yen (S$12.50) levy when leaving the country from next Monday (Jan 7), Japanese media reported.
Japan will start collecting the 1,000 yen departure tax for each person leaving the country by aircraft or ship regardless of nationality, Japan Times reported.
Under the law enacted in April last year, the levy will be collected each time an individual leaves the country, and comes on top of airfare, ship fare and travel fees.
¥1,000 equals $9.16 at today's exchange rate.
