When you are planning to apply for a working visa in Japan, the first step is to apply for a document called “Certificate of Eligibility”. This document provides your eligibility information on your status with regards to working and entering into Japan. The certificate must be applied for through the Regional Immigration Bureau in Japan and should be submitted to the immigration counter at the airport.

Therefore, you need to ask your inviting party or a specialist like a solicitor or an immigration lawyer to prepare the necessary documents for the application. The specialists in Japan are called “Shinsei Toritsugi Gyoseishoshi” (申請取次行政書士) or approved Gyoseishoshi lawyers, who are entitled to prepare your application, to collect supporting documents, and to submit all the required documents on behalf of their clients.

If you would like to stay in Japan for a longer duration than the originally permitted period, you will need to extend your stay. Moreover, when you want to change your job and move into a different career, you will also need to change your status of residence. In either of the cases, a load of paper work is essential and accurate and consistent information should be provided to the authority.

There are approved attorney lawyers, “Bengoshi” (弁護士) to provide a support for your visa issues and your status problems during your stay in Japan. The attorneys are entitled to apply for a suspension of execution to the court when you are taken into custody to a detention center or when you are about to be deported to your home country by the immigration bureau. The Bengoshi are also allowed to file a law suit against the authority about their decision on your status in Japan.

The Bengoshi are also allowed to file a law suit against the authority about their decision on your status in Japan.
