First contact

Clients contact our office by contact form, email, or phone.

First interview

The 1st remote interview is conducted via Zoom, Line etc.

If you wish, our office staff will come to see you nearby, at your home, some rental office space, cafeteria, etc., so we will have an interview in person.
(In this case, daily allowance 5,000 yen +tax + actual expenses including transportation fee will be paid by the client later)

first consultation (about 1 hour) is free.
We charge 5,000 yen + tax per hour for the second and subsequent consultations.
However, if we receive an order for Spouse VISA, it will be treated as included in the price and will be free of charge.

Based on the “detailed interview” and the “questionnaire you filled out”, our office will determine whether or not the VISA permission is possible.

Business starts after the contract is made

If we are able to accept your order, we will present an estimate, and if you request it, we will create a business consignment contract.
Half of the total amount is paid as a business start fee, and a receipt is issued.

We will present a list of documents to be collected by the customer and request you to fill out a sheet of information required for the preparation of the document at the start of business on the side of our office.　

No matter which plan you choose, we will kindly and politely inform you where to collect the necessary documents and how to collect them, so please count on our office staff.

Preparation of application documents

As soon as we receive all the documents from you, our office will start preparing the application documents. After completing the set of application documents, we’ll ask you to check all the documents and sign the required documents if there are no problems.

*Regarding the confirmation of documents throughout the application process, if you have difficulty reading Japanese, all you have to do is just trust our office and sign it.

Application

Our office will promptly apply online on behalf of the client.
(As an option, if we need to explain complicated circumstances at the Immigration Bureau counter and you absolutely need to apply on paper, you will be charged 10,000yen + tax (“paper application document output fee” and “transportation expenses” included).)

Since the application work itself will be completed, please pay the balance at this point.

If there is an instruction to submit additional documents from the Immigration Bureau after completing the application, please contact our office immediately as we will take responsibility for the necessary measures.

Final result

After the document application, the examination will be completed in about 1 to 3 months and the result of the application will be notified to our office by email or mail.

In the case of permission, please proceed with the procedure according to the instructions of the notification, and you can receive a new residence card from the Immigration Bureau.

In the unlikely event that permission is not granted, we will start a meeting to reapply.

Compensation table (10% tax excluded)　

Overview – Common to all plans

All revenue stamps and postage required for obtaining documents at government offices will be billed separately when you pay the balance later.
In the case of permission for renewal and change, please bear the revenue stamp fee of ¥4,000 that you pay for the Immigration Bureau when you receive your new VISA card.
In principle, based on the information submitted by the client, we will only accept orders if we can confirm that the customer can receive Spouse VISA permission.
In the unlikely event that permission is not granted, we will re-apply once more free of charge.
(Since Application Stakeholders are allowed to hear the reason for refusal at the Immigration Bureau, in order to make the possibility of permission closer to perfection at the time of reapplication, our office staff will meet the immigration officer in charge to see the reason for refusal on behalf of the customer free of charge.
If you wish, please accompany us.
And if still you’re not permitted after the reapplication, we will refund the completion fee except in the following case below (refer to the disclaimer).
