Japan Immigration, Visa Status and Foreign Employment Support
Tommy’s Legal Service supports applications for status of residence in Japan, including renewal, change of status, Certificate of Eligibility (COE), permanent residence, naturalization support, Specified Skilled Worker matters, and foreign employment compliance.
We help organize the facts, documents and explanation strategy.
Japanese immigration procedures require more than filling out forms. The job duties, income, family relationship, company situation, tax records, residence history and past applications must be explained consistently. We support clients by reviewing the facts, identifying required documents, and preparing a practical application strategy.
