WORK Work Visa
Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services and other working statuses. New applications from overseas, change of status, and renewals. |
SPOUSE Spouse Visa
Spouse of a Japanese national or of a permanent resident. Immigration looks closely at whether the marriage is genuine and stable. |
|
FAMILY Dependent Visa
Bring your spouse or children to Japan while you hold a work or student status. Your ability to support them is the key point. |
PERMANENT Permanent Residency
No more renewals, no work restrictions. Income, tax, pension, health insurance and days spent outside Japan are all checked in detail. |
|
NATURALIZATION Japanese Citizenship
Naturalization support is offered only to people of Korean nationality. Our representative reads Korean, so home‑country records are checked and translated in‑house. |
EMPLOYERS Hiring Foreign Staff
For companies in Japan: status checks before hiring, residence‑card verification, expiry and notification management, and visa filings. |

Consultation and office information
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply by myself?
Some people who have renewed the same status of residence several times do file on their own. But the forms and the supporting documents are in legal Japanese, and they rarely tell you what actually has to be proved, in what form, and how much of it is enough. Handling that in a language you did not grow up with is hard work, and a single misunderstanding can lead to a refusal. If you are at all unsure — and especially if anything needs explaining, such as a past refusal, a job change, late tax or pension payments, a short marriage, or hours worked beyond what your permission allows — we recommend leaving it to a professional.
Can we meet on a weekend or in the evening?
Yes, with an advance booking. Our regular hours are weekdays 9:00–18:00, but since many people cannot take time off during the week, weekend and evening appointments can be arranged — online or in person. Just mention it in your first message to us, and we will find a time that works.
My visa was refused. Is it over?
Usually not. You can re‑apply once the reason for the refusal is identified and properly addressed. The first step is finding out what that reason actually was — and that is where we start.
Do you cover the whole of Japan?
Consultations are online, so distance is not a problem. Applications are filed at the regional immigration office that covers where you live; we will confirm at the first consultation whether your case can be handled remotely.
Tell us your situation and we will tell you honestly — the likely outcome, the documents you will need, the timing, and what it would cost. The first 60 minutes are free.
