Who is legally able to help me get a Japanese immigration visa?
In Japan it’s a job called “legal scrivener”, or 行政書士(gyoseishoshi) in Japanese. Legal scriveners have two certifications. One can process visas and the other can apply for the visa without you being present. Legal scriveners can do more than visas. They can also help you setup a company in Japan.
