Payment

Note that most procedures at the immigration bureau require a fee, and all fees have to be paid via postage revenue stamps -- not in actual cash -- which can be picked up at any post office.

Luckily, the Nagoya bureau has a window within the building where you can buy postage cash stamps, so you don't have to worry about picking these up in advance.
