More detail
Advisor from Immigration Bureau of Japan
With a former Immigration Bureau of Japan employee on staff as an advisor, we are able to examine requirements and prepare application documents from the perspective of an immigration lawer specializing in Japanese visas and the Immigration Bureau.
There are unexpectedly many cases where applications are denied due to inadequacies even when the requirements are met, and Ligareus has a system in place to maximize the approval rate.
DX support for visa operations
By using "Visa Raku®︎", a cloud tool for visa management developed by our immigration law firm, you can DX your visa business. By automating the management of visa expiration dates and renewal information, you can greatly reduce the risk of overstaying and the workload.
Proactive information dissemination
We use our blog to provide useful information that you should know about Japanese visas, such as obtaining and managing work and study visas, and other matters and cases that you should be aware of when entering and leaving Japan. This is an unusual approach for an administrative scrivener's office, and we hope that it will help people to learn about the knowledge and culture of Ligareus.

Customer Case Studies
Case 1: transportation and communication industry, Number of foreign members 100~500
They had hired another immigration law firm, but they were slow to respond and the work did not proceed smoothly. In addition, they did not share the progress of their visa application case, so they could not share information in a timely manner.
In order for the HR staff to understand the progress of the visa application, the progress is shared with the HR staff at each milestone such as when the work is started, when the application is submitted, and when the application is approved. In addition, information is also shared when there are circumstances that delay the schedule, such as no reply from the foreign employee, late submission of documents, or slower than usual examination by the Immigration Bureau. By sharing information in a timely manner, we support HR staff in smoothly managing the entry schedule.
In addition to full-time staff members, backup staff are assigned to build an operation to respond in the absence of full-time staff member. This prevents delays in operations and omissions in information sharing due to the absence of the person in charge, and optimizes the workflow of the entire project.
Case 2: Financial and insurance industry, Number of foreign members ~50
There is a risk of overlooking the expiry date for foreign employees. In addition, there were problems such as missing necessary procedures due to lack of knowledge about the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act and residence of foreign nationals.
We provide visa consulting and advice in accordance with the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act when special cases arise, such as when entering a company or being transferred overseas. We can provide legally appropriate acceptance and management and ensure compliance with the law. Furthermore, it is possible to manage foreign employees appropriately even if the personnel in charge of human resources does not have knowledge of laws and procedures.
Case 3: University
There were frequent visa procedures that were difficult for them to handle by themselves. They have not been able to implement proper residency management or accumulate information on visas, and there is no staff with appropriate knowledge in the university.
We provided visa consulting services to the department in charge within the university, and presented a plan for dealing with the complex issues that arise when accepting international students, as well as during the renewal process. The staff in charge of visa operations were relieved of the anxiety that comes from not knowing how to respond, and the accuracy and efficiency of visa operations were improved.
Contract retention rate
96.4%
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.
