Japan Entry Services

First, our professional consultants will understand your situation – past experience, current situation and future plans of our clients who want to immigrate to Japan.

• We will review the client’s situation and information provided to find out if there is any way to shorten the length of time to become a permanent resident.
• Evaluate the client’s business plan and make recommendations.
• If the client already has a Hong Kong company, we can assist them in obtaining various resources, including Hong Kong government business financial assistance. These Hong Kong government funding schemes include “the BUD Fund”, “Technology Voucher Programme” (TVP), “SME Export Marketing Fund ” (Small and Medium Enterprises EMF), and “Enterprise Support Scheme” (ESS) etc. can give our clients an extra boost in expanding their markets in Japan.

We will assist our clients in preparing the necessary application documents and preparing a business plan for the proposed Japanese business.

• Open a Japanese Company Bank Account
• Apply for various Visas (Residence Status)

The person who runs a business can apply for a Business Manager visa and obtain a one-year of residence, while family members can apply for family stay. If you qualify, you can apply for a Highly Skilled Professional status and obtain a five-year of residence, and you can apply for permanent residency after living in Japan as short as one year.

Furthermore, from April 2023, a new Japan visa system called the Special Highly Skilled Professionals Visa (J-Skip) is available to those who meet the requirements of the following qualifications (e.g. those in employment with an annual income of at least 20 Million Yen or those who run or manage a company with an annual income at least 40 Million Yen).

Another new Japan visa system is the Future Creation Individual Visa (J-Find). If you are a graduate within 5 years from a university in the top 100 Universities in at least 2 of the following ranking lists (QS, Times and ARWU), you are eligible to apply. You can be granted a maximum of 2 years’ residence.

Here are some common examples and copies of the Certificate of Eligibility that we have helped our clients of obtain.

We can provide translation services in the areas of office and residential rental, personal banking etc. as well as providing a visa renewal service.
