Visa Application Services

Does this sound like you?

Do you have any of these concerns about your resident status (i.e., visa) in Japan?

  • You want to obtain a management visa that allows you to set up a company and launch a business in Japan.
  • You want to apply for a visa so you can set up a subsidiary in Japan and dispatch employees to it.
  • You want to hire foreign technical personnel to work at a company in Japan and want to know how to get visas.
  • You plan to get internationally married to a Japanese, but are not familiar with the visa procedures.
  • You want to live in Japan after divorcing your Japanese spouse, but are unsure how that will affect your visa.

Smooth Visa Application Procedures Makes a Difference!

In situations like these, smooth visa application procedures are essential. Unless the process goes well and a visa is granted, the foreign national is left in an insecure position where they cannot manage their company or start their new life.

For example, even if you have established a company Japan, you cannot start running your company if you cannot get a visa. On the other hand, if you apply for a visa after the company is already set up, if the visa application does not go smoothly, the actual start of business may be delayed from your investors’ viewpoint. 

As a further example, even if you are married internationally to a Japanese and want to live together in Japan, you cannot live together as husband and wife until the appropriate visa is issued. In this case also, a smooth application process is necessary to ensure that a couple can live together as quickly as possible.
