Sound familiar?

  • The form is entirely in Japanese

    You can't read it, and you don't know what each box needs.

    You answer in English, the app fills in the Japanese form

    Every question comes with an explanation and examples in English. The app places your answers in the official Japanese form. You check the content and are responsible for it.

  • You don't know which documents you need

    Every visa type has a different list, and missing one means another trip to the office.

    Reference document list based on your answers

    When you finish, you get a reference list of documents to prepare, with some supporting documents pre-filled. Check it against the official guidance.
