From residence status to labor matters after hiring.
Support for international hiring, residence status and entering Japan's market.
Our representative administrative scrivener is also a certified social insurance and labor consultant, helping you consider insurance, payroll and labor matters after hiring. Labor services have separate contracts and invoices.
We review your circumstances and planned activities in Japan, then organize documents and the application process for work-related status, extensions or changes.
Depending on the residence status and application, consistency among employment terms, social insurance, pay and actual working arrangements may be important.
We review the planned duties, employment terms, starting date and residence status, explaining the preparations for both your HR team and the person you plan to hire.
Our representative, a former Mainichi Shimbun China Bureau Chief, consults directly in Chinese. Other languages receive basic guidance with AI and translation assistance; specialist translation and extended interpreting are arranged separately.
Entering Japan's market
We organize planned business activities, company-formation documents, permits and residence-status matters. Company registration goes to a judicial scrivener and tax matters to a tax accountant, under separate contracts.
We support designation and permit applications, opening preparations, required documents and communication with authorities. We help welfare providers plan openings with later operations in view.
An application-intermediary administrative scrivener organizes the application and required documents. Approval is not guaranteed; a qualified professional reviews each application.

Inheritance procedures: collecting family register records and preparing an estate division agreement
Yさん（50代・女性）
Reference translation
When my father passed away, my two siblings and I were all living far from one another, and we did not know where to begin with the inheritance procedures. At our first meeting, they recommended putting an overview of the assets into a single table and sharing the order of the procedures with everyone in advance. Following that advice helped us keep our discussions from becoming emotional. It also helped that we did not have to visit government offices ourselves to collect the family register records. When the agreement was ready, my older sister and I were able to say to each other, “We got through this without a dispute.” I think that was the biggest achievement.
Applying for designation as a disability welfare service provider
K法人（代表・40代）
Reference translation
The designation application involved so much paperwork that we decided we could not meet the deadline on our own and asked for help. They explained how the staffing and facility standards work at the outset, so we had an idea of the documents we needed to gather. They also attended the preliminary consultation with the authorities, allowing us to organize the points raised there and then.
Being able to consult in Chinese meant I could check even the finer details. The list of required documents was easy to understand, and they also prepared an explanation of the documents I needed to request from my employer.
Yes. You can consult our representative directly in Chinese. We explain the scope and cost in advance when specialist translation or extended interpreting is needed.
