Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our free case assessment service for foreigners in Japan.
Is this service really free?
Yes, the initial case assessment is completely free. We review your situation and provide guidance at no cost. If you need to be connected with a professional (lawyer, immigration consultant), their services may have fees, but we'll always be transparent about costs.
Are you lawyers? Is this legal advice?
No, we are not a law firm and this is not legal advice. We provide case assessment and connect you with appropriate professionals. For legal advice, you'll need to consult with a licensed attorney.
How quickly will I hear back?
We typically respond within 24 hours. For urgent matters (visa expiring within a week), please mention this in your submission and we'll prioritize your case.
What information do you need from me?
We need your basic contact info, a description of your problem, and relevant details like visa type, timeline, and what you've tried so far. The more details you provide, the better we can help.
