중국, 일본인 대상 비자 수수료 7배 인상…일본의 비자 인상에 맞불 대응

Quick Look

중국이 일본인 대상 비자 수수료를 단수 기준 7배 인상하며 일본의 비자 수수료 인상에 맞대응했다. 중국 측은 상호주의에 입각한 대응이라고 밝혔으며, 한국·대만·미국 등은 무비자 입국이 가능해 결국 중국인 관광객을 겨냥한 조치라는 해석이 나왔다.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

일본이 지난 7월부터 입국 비자 수수료를 5배 인상했으며, 한국·대만·미국 등은 상호 비자 면제로 무비자 입국이 가능해 결국 중국인 관광객을 겨냥한 조치라는 해석이 나왔다. 중국은 현재 일본인을 대상으로 단기 체류 시 최대 30일까지 비자 면제 조치를 시행 중이나, 올해 12월 31일 기한 종료 시 영향이 커질 전망이다.

(도쿄=연합뉴스) 조성미 특파원 = 일본의 비자 수수료 대폭 인상이 중국인 관광객을 겨냥한 것이라는 관측 속에 중국도 일본인 대상 비자 수수료를 크게 올리며 맞불 대응에 나섰다.

12일 현지 언론에 따르면 주일본 중국대사관은 일본인 대상 비자 발급 수수료를 오는 14일부터 인상한다고 발표했다.

단수 비자 수수료는 2천250엔(약 1만9천700원)에서 1만6천750엔(약 14만6천300원)으로, 복수 비자는 7천500엔(약 6만5천500원)에서 5만250엔(약 43만9천원)으로 각각 7배가량 인상된다.

이와 별도로 중국 측 비자 신청센터에 수수료 5천엔(약 4만3천700원)을 내야 한다.

마오닝 중국 외교부 대변인은 전날 열린 정례 브리핑에서 "상호주의에 입각한 대응"이라고 설명했다.

일본 정부가 지난 7월부터 입국 비자 수수료를 3천엔(약 2만6천200원)에서 1만5천엔(약 13만1천원)으로, 복수 입국 비자 수수료를 6천엔(약 5만2천400원)에서 3만엔(약 26만2천100원)으로 5배 올린 데 따른 대응 조치라는 취지다.

한국, 대만, 미국 등은 상호 비자 면제에 따라 일본에 최대 90일간 무비자로 체류할 수 있어, 결국 일본의 비자 수수료 인상은 비자가 있어야 일본을 방문할 수 있는 중국인 관광객을 겨냥한 조치가 아니냐는 해석이 나왔다.

중국 정부는 현재 일본인을 대상으로 단기 체류 시 최대 30일까지 비자 없이도 입국을 허용하는 면제 조치를 시행 중이다.

다만, 올해 12월 31일 면제 조치 기한이 끝나고 연장되지 않을 경우 일본인 비자 수수료 인상의 영향이 커질 것으로 보인다.

North Korea fires multiple short-range ballistic missiles toward East Sea, South Korea's military says

North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area toward the East Sea on Saturday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff reported, just one day after the conclusion of a trilateral military exercise involving South Korea, the United States, and Japan. The missiles traveled approximately 250 kilometers before landing in the sea, and South Korean and U.S. intelligence monitored the launch from early stages, sharing data with Japan. The launch follows North Korea's denunciation of the Freedom Edge exercise and precedes an upcoming summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, where North Korea-related issues are expected to be discussed.

North Korea fires multiple ballistic missiles toward East Sea after South Korea-US-Japan trilateral exercise

North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on Saturday, South Korea's military said, just one day after South Korea, the United States and Japan concluded their five-day Freedom Edge military exercise. The Joint Chiefs of Staff detected the launches from the Wonsan area around 5:20 a.m. and said South Korea has increased surveillance and remains on full alert while coordinating with the U.S. and Japan. The launch follows North Korean Defense Minister Kim Song-gi's denunciation of the trilateral drill and vow to take 'reflective countermeasures.' It also comes ahead of an expected summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, where North Korea-related issues are expected to be discussed.
