FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can everything be handled online?
Many immigration matters can be handled mainly online. Where an in-person procedure is more appropriate, we will explain the best route.
Do you accept urgent cases?
Yes. We first check the deadline, missing documents and legal feasibility, then advise whether expedited preparation is realistic.
FEES

Fees depend on the status, procedure and complexity. HSP / J-SKIP matters are quoted individually. Government fees and other actual expenses are charged separately.

ONLINE FEE SAVINGS
Online filing can also reduce government fees.
Under the fee-revision proposal provided, online applications for change or renewal of status of residence are set lower than counter applications for periods over 3 months. If implemented as proposed, the saving would be ¥3,000 to ¥10,000 per application, with the largest difference for a period of 5 years or more.
* This is based on the proposed fee schedule provided and may change before implementation.
QAre online applications reviewed more slowly?
Based on our handled-case data, we have not found a consistent review-speed difference between online and counter applications. Processing time varies by case type, timing, additional-document requests and the reviewing section; in practice, there can also be an element of luck. We therefore focus on preparing and filing a complete application quickly rather than assuming one filing channel is faster.
