If Your Residence Status Application Was Denied
We start by confirming the reasons for the denial. You can consult us even if your application was filed by another office or by yourself.
*Please do not send your Residence Card or other documents via WhatsApp. We will tell you a secure way to send them.
When you receive a notice of denial
Please keep the notice; do not throw it away. The notice states the reasons for the denial and is an important starting point for the consultation. Deadlines may be involved, so please consult us as early as possible with the notice at hand.
The wording of the notice alone often does not make the reasons clear. You can receive an explanation of the reasons from the officer at Immigration (Miyazaki Branch Office, Fukuoka Regional Immigration Services Bureau). The explanation is given to the applicant (please make the appointment yourself).
Re-application may be possible. The basic approach is to confirm the reasons and make up for what was lacking before applying again.
From consultation to re-application
Our Administrative Scrivener Authorized to File Applications attends the explanation of the reasons with you
Accompaniment when Immigration explains the reasons for a denial (for those whose application, filed by another office or by themselves, was denied) ¥5,500 (incl. tax; excl. tax ¥5,000)
When you receive the explanation of the reasons for the denial at Immigration (Miyazaki Branch Office, Fukuoka Regional Immigration Services Bureau), our Administrative Scrivener Authorized to File Applications attends with you and conveys the officer’s explanation to you. We can support most languages. Japanese and Chinese are conveyed on the spot; other languages, including English, are conveyed after the explanation using a translation device (a translation device can convey only an outline. If you want to confirm the details, please come with an interpreter. Interpreter fees are borne by you). We will give you the key points of the explanation in writing.
・The explanation of the reasons is given to the applicant. The applicant must attend (please make the appointment yourself).
・The content and level of detail of the officer’s explanation are at the discretion of Immigration.
・After the explanation, we will explain the prospects for re-application, the procedure and our fees as a consultation (up to 60 minutes, free of charge). The accompaniment and the consultation are separate services.
・If you ask us to handle the re-application within 7 days of the accompaniment, the accompaniment fee is included in the re-application fee and is not charged separately. If we cannot accept the case under our acceptance criteria, the accompaniment fee is not charged either. If you do not ask us to handle it, please complete the payment procedure on the day of the accompaniment (card / convenience store payment [within 3 days] / bank transfer [within 7 days]).
・Re-applications after an application filed by another office or by yourself was denied are quoted individually as high-difficulty cases (not covered by refunds or free re-application).
・Miyazaki Branch Office only. Transportation within Miyazaki Prefecture is included.
・If we cannot attend with you because of your circumstances or those of the Branch Office, no accompaniment fee is charged.
・For applications we assisted with, this is included in your contract fee.
