Visa approval rate
98.7%
The contract retention rate is a measure of service satisfaction, and the visa approval rate is a measure of our performance. In the past, when we have outsourced visa services to other firms, we have heard that they did not provide satisfactory services, and we have been working to improve customer satisfaction by reflecting such comments in our services.
We also maintain a high approval rate because we carefully check the requirements in advance. If you do not meet the requirements, we will help you avoid applying for a permit at the earliest possible date and provide you with a plan to obtain a permit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many man-hours can be saved if I ask you to handle visa applications for my employees?
We can reduce the man-hours by about 90%. After the request is made, we can directly contact the target employee to prepare the application documents and receive the visa, so there is almost nothing for the person in charge to do. Progress of the application can be shared as needed, and the status of the application can be monitored smoothly.
Is the contract spot or ongoing?
Both are possible. Companies that hire/invite foreign nationals often request us only when necessary, while companies that hire/invite a large number of foreign nationals every year contract us on an advisory basis to provide various consulting services related to Japanese visas in addition to application services.
I'm hiring a foreigner for the first time. Can you give me some advice before and after accepting them?
Yes, of course. If you are hiring a foreigner for the first time, we understand that you may have many questions other than the application process. We can advise you on matters that you need to prepare before accepting a foreigner, and how to manage the period of stay after employment, not only with the person in charge but also with the employee.
Process from consultation to visa acquisition
01
Consultation
First, please contact us by phone or inquiry form. We will set up a date and time for the initial hearing after we receive your call and briefly discuss your needs.
02
Initial hearing
We will ask you about the details of your consultation by visiting you, having you come to our office, or holding a web conference. In many cases, we will present the direction of our proposal at this stage.
03
Proposal and explanation of procedures
Based on the information we receive at the initial hearing, we will provide you with a detailed proposal including an estimate. After that, we will sign the contract and move on to provide information on how to proceed with the visa application and the expected schedule.
04
Required Documents
We will contact the foreign employee directly and explain the necessary documents and procedures so that there are no unclear points. Please do not worry if you are not familiar with Japanese as we will explain in English.
05
Document collection and checking
We will review the documents you have provided and compare them with the visa requirements. In the unlikely event that you do not meet the requirements, we will inform you not to apply unreasonably, as you will be recorded as inadmissible, and we will propose a solution.
06
Preparation of application documents
If the requirements are met and the application is deemed possible, we will prepare the application documents based on the documents and information received. In addition, in anticipation of negotiations with the immigration bureau, we formulate a response policy at this stage.
07
Application
Our immigration lawyer will apply at the immigration bureau on behalf of the applicant or the person in charge. Applications can be made at any immigration bureau in Japan.
08
Receive permission and mail visa
Our immigration lawyer will receive the permit at the immigration bureau on behalf of the applicant or the person in charge. After receiving the permit, we will arrange for the permit documents to be mailed to you.
