Consultation Options (Free & Paid) — Immigration / Visa in Japan

Tommy’s Legal Service (Gyoseishoshi / Administrative Scrivener) provides immigration consultation for visa/status renewal, change of status, COE, permanent residence, and naturalization. We offer a free light consultation for direction-setting, and a paid 60-minute consultation for detailed strategy and document review.

Free Light Consultation (Quick direction check)

This option is for people who want to “ask quickly” or “confirm the right direction.”

  • Fee: Free
  • What we do:
    • Confirm your current situation (basic facts)
    • Suggest the likely direction (possible status / procedure)
    • Explain the overall documents needed (high-level)
  • Channels: Inquiry form / messaging (LINE / WhatsApp / Messenger / X DM), or a short phone call
  • Phone: Free for about 15–20 minutes (Japanese / English)
Note (important): Free consultation is limited to general explanation and direction. Detailed document review, case-specific strategy, and step-by-step planning are handled in the paid consultation.
Consultation flow: free light consultation → paid 60-minute consultation (Stripe prepaid) → booking form.

If you need concrete guidance (document review, risk analysis, case strategy, timeline planning), please use the paid consultation.
