About Us

Supporting the internationalization of Oita as professionals in immigration services.

We envision a society where foreign nationals can live and thrive in Japan with peace of mind. For companies and supervising organizations, we support the creation of an environment where you can accept foreign talent securely while maintaining strict compliance. We are committed to supporting you from both legal and practical perspectives.

Why Choose Us?

1. Overwhelming Expertise and Proven Track Record

Because we specialize exclusively in immigration and nationality services—such as visa and naturalization applications—we can swiftly adapt to the latest legal revisions and strict screening criteria (e.g., the tightening of Business Manager Visa rules in 2025 and Naturalization residency requirements in 2026). Our deep expertise guides you to a reliable and smooth approval.

2. Comprehensive Support Beyond Visas

As Oita Prefecture’s first Registered Support Organization, our assistance goes beyond just paperwork. We provide total support for foreign residents, including daily life assistance, Japanese language education, and settlement support, ensuring a smooth transition into Japanese society and your company.

3. Multilingual Communication

We handle visa applications for individuals of all nationalities. With our multilingual staff and network, we can communicate effectively in major Asian languages, including English, Chinese, and Vietnamese, ensuring that nothing gets lost in translation.
