Yes, by prior appointment, we flexibly accommodate consultations and meetings on weekday evenings (until around 8:00 PM) as well as weekends and national holidays. Please feel free to schedule a time after work or on your days off.

Yes, we provide in-person meetings across the Kanto area centering on Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo, Saitama, Ibaraki, and Kanagawa. In addition, we also accept applications from all over Japan through online meetings via Zoom or LINE.

Yes, you can consult with us for recovery (reapplication) after a refusal. First, we will accompany you or act as your agent to check the “reasons for refusal” at the Immigration Bureau, analyze the cause in detail, and build a strategy for reapplication. Repeating applications on your own can sometimes worsen your situation, so we strongly recommend consulting a specialist as soon as a refusal occurs.

Immediately after changing jobs, immigration will review the reason for leaving your previous job, the stability of your new job, and whether your job duties “fall under your status of residence.” Furthermore, for work visas, it is crucial whether you submitted the “Notification of the Accepting Organization (所属機関に関する届出)” to the Immigration Bureau within 14 days of changing jobs. If you missed any procedures, we can advise you, so please feel free to consult us.

Yes, especially for permanent residency applications, naturalization applications, and certain visa renewals, this can have a major impact. Accumulation of minor violations such as speeding, or unpaid/overdue resident taxes (Juminzei) and income taxes (Shotokuzei) will make it difficult to pass screening as they are. We need to check tax certificates in advance and take measures such as paying them in full before putting application documents together.

Due to the legal revision implemented on October 16, 2026, the requirements for the “Business/Management” visa have been significantly tightened. Key changes include raising the capital (total assets provided for business operations) to 30 million yen or more, and making the employment of at least 1 full-time employee mandatory. In addition, the manager themselves must have 3 or more years of management experience (or a master’s/doctor’s degree in a related field), and Japanese language proficiency of the applicant or full-time employee (B2 level or above, equivalent to JLPT N2) is also required. We handle measures associated with the legal revision and detailed corporate requirements, so please feel free to consult us.

If you hire an authorized application-agent administrative scrivener, not only will they handle the creation and collection of documents, but they will also **submit the application and collect the results at the Immigration Bureau on your behalf, saving you from taking time off work on weekdays and waiting in line at the immigration counter for hours.** In addition, the biggest advantage is that we can increase the approval rate by crafting custom statement letters tailored to each individual case.

Our office sets clear and transparent flat-rate fees (e.g., Work Visa New/Change starts from 58,000 yen (63,800 yen including tax)). We provide a clear estimate beforehand and begin work only after you agree, so no unclear additional fees will ever be charged (*legal immigration statutory fees and actual expenses for certificate issuance are billed separately).
