Excellent service to get all matters of re-entry permits, address changes etc.resolved on time during Covid19.

I retained Nakai Immigration Services LPC in mid-2020 to assist me with the process of obtaining residency in Japan. Having initially contacted them via their website, they responded quickly (within an hour, I believe), provided thorough information, and a clear list of what documentation I would need to send to them to begin the process.

Japan is notorious for the volume and complexity of its bureaucratic paperwork, and I found the prospect of submitting for residency very daunting. I'm very glad that I chose Nakai Immigration Services as my legal representation.

The firm's partners and associates were very communicative and made themselves available throughout much of their working hours. Though they had suspended most operations in their Osaka office due to a decrease in clientele during the Covid-19 pandemic, one of their partners came to Osaka several times specifically to assist with my case, and to attend the immigration bureau with me.

The ultimate result was an approval of my application, which was a massive relief to me, especially in the midst of the anxiety and uncertainty that's plagued the year 2020. I highly recommend anyone to contact them if they are faced with an immigration issue in Japan.

Nakai handled promptly, very professionally and with very capable non Japanese language skills. Yes, our office had all the documents from our side prepared but Nakai pulled it totally together in 4 days for submission to immigration.

The applicant was a SE Asian recent graduate of a 2 year college here. We were hiring as an entry level new employee. Nakai accessed the situation, gave advise and also guessed how long it would take to the successful conclusion.

I have been in Japan for decades. I have handled my own and family's initial work visas and PR applications. Working with Nakai on this case meant we just share with them our business details, letters etc. They took care of the rest.

Recommended with no reservations or secondary points. They work.

I have mixed experiences with them when I hired them to help me get a renewal for my visa.
- The good thing was that they prepared a list of documents that I needed to prepare.
- The bad thing was that after 3 months of communication they eventually cancelled 1 day before my visa was going to expire.

So I was forced to go to a different immigration lawyer and got it done way faster (1 week) + got approved for the visa extension.

Very easy to navigate and the people working there were amazing and so helpfuland.honestly you don't get that kind of service anywhere besides Japan.

Soy un hombre argentino casado con otro argentino. Trabajaba en una empresa en Buenos Aires hasta que me trasladaron a la oficina de Tokio y quería traer a mi marido. ¡Pero el matrimonio igualitario todavía no es legal en Japón!

La Sra. Shie Kojima nos guió durante todo el proceso, y nos dio incontables consejos y toda la información necesaria para un caso tan particular. Siempre fue muy franca, nunca subestimó los riesgos de cada paso. La espera fue muy estresante, pero la Sra. Kojima demostró ser una gran profesional dándonos apoyo y empatía. ¡También habla español fluido!

Finalmente, a mi marido se le otorgó la visa de Actividades Designadas, que generalmente se otorga a cónyuges extranjeros del mismo sexo que están legalmente casados ​​en otro país y quieren que se les permita quedarse en Japón con el apoyo financiero de su pareja.

Luego encontró un trabajo de tiempo completo, lo que le permitió obtener una visa de trabajo. Nuevamente, la Sra. Kojima guió el proceso con éxito. Cumplió nuestro sueño.

Recomiendo Nakai Immigration Services a cualquier pareja LGBTIQ+ que esté pensando en hacer algo similar.

I am an Argentinian man married to another Argentinian man. I was working at a company in Buenos Aires and was transferred to the Tokyo office, and I wanted to bring my husband along. But same-sex marriage isn't legal in Japan yet!

Ms. Shie Kojima guided us throughout the process, offering countless pieces of advice and all the relevant information for such an unusual case. She was always very frank, never understating the risks of each step. The wait was nerve-wrecking, but Ms. Kojima proved to be a great professional, showing us support and empathy. She's also very fluent in Spanish!

My husband was finally granted the Designated Activities visa, which is usually given to foreign same-sex spouses who are legally married abroad and wish to be allowed to stay in Japan with their spouse's financial support.

He then found a full-time job, which enabled him to get a full-time work visa. Again, Ms. Kojima guided the process sucessfully. She made our dream come true.

I would recommend Nakai Immigration Services to any LGBTIQ+ couples that may be considering something similar.

Nakai Immigration services have been such a great help for us. Very professional, very efficient, on the point with solving issues! We are very grateful for all the support given! Highly recommended! Thanks from the entire Hochsitz Team.

You get what you pay for

Nakai sensei is a highly skilled legal professional who understands not only immigration law but the practical implications of the law. He is very down to earth and a straight shooter. Some may consider his fees expensive but I do not. As a lawyer in the market I know the value of the legal services he provides and his fees are at market and reasonable considering the high value and service level he provides. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Nakai sensei.
