Country: Japan (Tokyo) I just applied for passport correction due to wrong entry in my FIRST NAME. I looked at the service fees in Phil. Embassy Tokyo website and thought that I would only pay: e-Passport ¥8400 + Amendment ¥3500 + AffidAvit ¥3500 = ¥15400. To my surprise they charge ¥28000 total & the receipt particular is “Replacement of lost ePassport”. I complained about it but they insisted that Amendment of Discrepancy is ¥21000 (vs. ¥8400). Info on SPECIAL CASE do not contain a specific price for this category. https://tokyo.philembassy.net/docs/Schedule-of-Fees.pdf?nocache=20220701
