Visa Application & Renewal Services in Japan

Certificate of Eligibility

When a foreign national wishes to land in Japan with a status of residence other than Temporary Visitor, Specially Designated Activities other than Notification, or Permanent Resident, the Immigration Law stipulates that the Minister of Justice conducts a preliminary examination to determine if the conditions for landing are met. If all requirements are met, a certificate will be issued known as a “Certificate of Eligibility.” The Certificate of Eligibility is issued upon application to the Immigration Bureau in Japan by the Minister of Justice after prior examination by the Immigration Bureau to determine whether the applicant meets the eligibility requirements for the status of residence and the landing permission criteria. We assist with the entire application process to ensure compliance and efficiency.

Visa (VISA)

A foreign national who wishes to enter Japan must have a valid passport and a valid VISA issued by a Japanese consulate or other appropriate authority. A VISA can be applied at the Japanese embassy or consulate with jurisdiction over the foreigner’s place of residence. It is during this time that you will need to present the aforementioned Certificate of Eligibility. Since the pre-screening by the Minister of Justice has already been completed, the visa issuance examination should be expedited. We provide guidance and support throughout the visa application process to ensure a smooth and timely approval.

Our services are designed to make the process of obtaining the Certificate of Eligibility and Visa as straightforward and efficient as possible, ensuring a hassle-free entry into Japan for your company’s employees.
