Why MSFT, V, and AAPL Are July’s Forever Stock Picks

A July 2026 feature argues Microsoft, Visa, and Apple are durable, “forever” buys for long-term holders. Microsoft benefits from Azure growth and large-scale AI capex, Visa operates a steady “toll-booth” payments model with strong margins and ROE, and Apple leverages a vast installed base and high-margin Services. Each shows solid recent earnings signals, though risks exist (AI ROI clarity for Microsoft, regulatory/regulatory scrutiny for Apple, and ongoing payments regulation for Visa). The piece suggests July offers patient-entry points across different risk levels for investors aiming to hold these three into the distant future.

Japan hikes visa fees as part of broad immigration overhaul

Japan approved its largest visa fee hike in nearly half a century, effective July 1, 2026, raising single-entry visas to ¥15,000 and multiple-entry visas to ¥30,000 to help fund an expanding immigration system that now serves about 4.13 million foreign residents; the move is part of broader reforms that would also lift fees for residence changes and permanent residency, with a new JESTA travel authorization slated for 2028.

Japan hikes foreign visa fees for first time since 1978, fivefold jump

Japan has imposed a five-fold increase on visa fees for all foreigners, raising single-entry visas from 3,000 to 15,000 yen and multi-entry visas from 6,000 to 30,000 yen, to reflect inflation and exchange-rate fluctuations. Officials say there will be no immediate hit to inbound tourism, even as the yen remains weak and Japan hosted a record 42.7 million international visitors last year, with accompanying legislation also lifting caps and costs related to residency changes.

Japan imposes 500% hike on entry visa fees for foreign entrants

Japan announced a 500% increase in entry visa fees for foreign nationals, raising single-entry visas from 3,000 to 15,000 yen and multiple-entry visas from 6,000 to 30,000 yen (first hike in 48 years). The move is expected to boost FY2026 revenue by about 116.1 billion yen, though many tourists are visa-exempt and non-tourist entrants (students, workers) will be affected; officials say inbound visitor numbers aren’t expected to fall in the near term despite the sudden change.

Iran to lodge FIFA protest over World Cup travel rules

Iran plans to formally complain to FIFA over travel restrictions and visa denials affecting their World Cup 2026 participation, after relocating their base to Mexico amid security concerns; two remaining group games in the U.S. (vs Belgium in LA and vs Egypt in Seattle) require prep time the federation says was denied. FIFA president Infantino visited the squad, and Iran contends the rules undermine neutrality and fairness, while officials note travel is limited to day-before matches with departure the evening of play.

World Cup Sparks Clash With Trump’s America First Push

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup comes to the U.S., the event is meant to showcase American leadership, but visa restrictions, immigration enforcement, and travel fears tied to the Trump administration have dampened international demand and sparked incidents at airports and in ticketing processes. DHS/ICE are coordinating security for the tournament across 11 cities, while officials insist safety is the priority amid visa waivers for some attendees; FIFA notes the logistics are immense. The controversy may fade once games start, but it highlights the tension between governing immigration and hosting a global sporting spectacle.

World Cup travel drama: Somali ref and Iraqi officials denied U.S. entry

A Somali World Cup referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, was denied entry to the U.S. after an 11-hour questioning at Miami, while an Iraqi team photographer and a striker were detained for hours at Chicago O’Hare before release; CBP described the actions as routine vetting to determine admissibility. Somali officials and Iraqi federation members criticized the denials as unfair and politicized, while U.S. authorities emphasized that visas do not guarantee entry and that cases are decided on vetting grounds on a case-by-case basis, with the State Department pledging a welcoming process for legitimate travelers.
