Our certified public accountants, tax accountants, lawyers, judicial scriveners, social insurance labor consultants, and administrative scriveners all work together to provide service for the client.

Residence Status Application and Renewal Service
We at Shiodome Partners have handled many cases of residence status (visa) applications of different types for individuals living overseas. Although it is not impossible to apply for a status of residence on your own, the visa application process is complicated. Unfortunately, there have been many cases of denied applications due to applicants who do not understand Japanese and thus failing to present their case properly to the immigration offices, regardless of whether they submitted the necessary documents.
An administrative scrivener with a wealth of experience will act on our clients’ behalf in obtaining and renewing various types of residence statuses (visas) for foreign nationals in a quick and reliable manner. In addition, we also provide advice for those aiming for visa renewals. We will guide and support our clients so that they will be able to meet the requirements needed to obtain the visa.
License Processing Service
Licenses refer to the permits, authorization, etc. that can be obtained by performing certain procedures with administrative agencies such as police stations, public health centers, and prefectural governments in order to carry out specific businesses. It is important to be aware that doing business without obtaining the necessary permits may result in criminal penalties. To allow the business to start smoothly and let its employees devote more time into their core business, you can let our experienced consultants perform various licensing applications on your behalf.
