When you consider obtaining, changing or renewing any of these visa statuses, we understand that you are at a critical juncture in your life somehow.

As a starting point we will first confirm whether your desired status of residence applies after throughly listening to your needs, then determine whether it complies with the landing criteria, and finally consider the all-important issue of suitability (whether your desired status of residence applies), and provide appropriate advice as necessary.

As this is a procedure in which the immigration authorities have a relatively large degree of discretion, we will proceed as carefully as possible, even if you are in a hurry, just because it really matters to your valuable time and life in Japan.

Should you have any problems or concerns regarding your residence status in Japan, no matter how trivial the matter may be, please feel entirely free to contact us.  Visit our special website : JAPAN VISA Application Service
