Client Story: Obtaining an Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services Visa
Background
This time we introduce the case of Mr. A, an engineer from Vietnam. He received a job offer from a Japanese IT company and consulted our office in order to obtain an Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa.
Our Support
First, we confirmed whether Mr. A’s academic and work history and the job duties at the hiring company satisfied the requirements of the residence status, and prepared a list of the necessary documents. We assembled his resume, university graduation certificate, the company’s letter of reason and other materials, and prepared the application form. While also providing support in Chinese and Vietnamese, we worked in close coordination with both the applicant himself and the company’s representative.
Result
Screening was completed approximately one month after submission, and the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa was successfully approved. Mr. A is now active as an engineer in Japan. He shared his delight with us, saying, “The application process went smoothly, and I was able to start working in Japan without anxiety.”
At our office, we strive to provide attentive support tailored to each individual situation. If you are considering obtaining a work visa, please feel free to consult us.
