Complete Visa and Residence Status Support for Taiwanese Companies in Kumamoto
With TSMC’s entry into Kumamoto, the establishment of JASM, and the decision to build a second plant, Taiwanese and semiconductor-related companies continue to expand in Kumamoto. Our office has supported residence status applications for multiple JASM supplier companies. From work visas for engineers and office staff to visas for accompanying family members, a licensed administrative scrivener (gyoseishoshi) handles everything from start to finish. Your first consultation is free.

Work visa screening is getting stricter: get professional support
Work visa screening carefully checks whether the job duties match the employee’s education and work history, the nature and stability of the company’s business, and the consistency of the submitted documents. The final decision rests with the Immigration Services Agency of Japan, so approval cannot be guaranteed. We do our best to help the process go as smoothly as possible under the stricter screening.
