Mara Veneman3. June, 2025.Ami-san is an excellent immigration lawyer. She made the COE process very easy for our family, every step of the way. I spoke with another Japanese immigration lawyer before hiring Ami-san, and after the initial consultation I could tell that Ami was so much more knowledgable. She took the time to answer all of our questions, explain the whole process, identify all the required documents, and make sure the timeline worked out for us. She also took the time to research the easiest and most efficient option for our son's COE because there were a couple of pathways available to him. And it was very helpful that Ami-san speaks great English, because I do not speak Japanese!
Sumit Prasad30. May, 2025.I had approached Ami Ito san for my visa renewal (so called extension of stay) and she was prompt to reply. Her documentation is immaculate and she uses an online form to gather the required information and I sent the attachments by email separately. While my application was still under process, I was hit by the tragic passing away of my mom, back home. I now needed to have the resident card asap in order to be able to travel to my country and then to enter Japan again. Ito san put in a request with the immigration for expediting the process and it seems to have worked because I got called for my new residence card soon after. I am very thankful for all the assistance and also grateful for the support from the immigration authorities. Hope for your kind assistance in the future too, Ito san.
Spencer Yamakoshi21. May, 2025.Ami is an exceptional lawyer and was incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions about the third generation (Nikkei Sansei) visa. Because it’s a relatively uncommon visa, especially in cases like mine where my Japanese grandparents had naturalized as U.S. citizens, I had difficulty finding clear information online. Ami not only clarified the entire process but also provided a detailed list of the documents I needed, which allowed me to gather everything in a relatively short amount of time. She even went above and beyond by creating a visual family tree and writing a thoughtful explanation of my ancestry and reasons for wanting to stay in Japan. Although the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) was initially expected to take four months, it arrived in just a little over three. Ami reached out to the Tokyo Immigration Office and thoughtfully explained my situation, which had been causing me concern, as I needed to visit an ill family member. I’m incredibly grateful to have worked with Ami and would not hesitate to reach out to her again for any future immigration or residency related matters.
Rezaul Islam14. May, 2025.Ito san is very helpful and efficient immigration layer. She always tried to suggest what is best for me. She is also very responsive. I could connect him anytime. This was reassuring as these days immigration processing back logs are increasing. I am very happy with her service. I would strongly recommend her.
Mike Carr28. April, 2025.When I was trying to obtain a longer stay in Japan I had communication difficulties (I don’t speak Japanese) and type of visa concerns. Ami interviewed me in English, looked into my situation, answered my questions, explained the process and kept me informed as she obtained my longer stay visa extension for Japan. I am able to travel and see this wonderful country. I highly recommend Ami to anyone who wants assistance with Japanese immigration concerns or issues!
Xiqian Zheng22. April, 2025.Ito san is an exceptionally professional, highly responsive, and genuinely friendly immigration lawyer. She expertly guided me through the application process for my Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for a high-skilled professional visa as I prepare to work in Japan. Thanks to Ito san's prompt, clear, and precise instructions at every step, the entire application process was remarkably smooth and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Ito san to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable immigration lawyer. Thank you again, Ito san, for your outstanding support!
Merissa M.2. April, 2025.Ami-san is an outstanding immigration lawyer, and my husband and I are incredibly grateful for her help in obtaining our COEs for the Japanese Third Generation (Nikkei Sansei) Visa and Spouse of Japanese Third Generation Visa. We couldn't have achieved this goal without her support and guidance! 🌟 Every part of the process was a positive experience. Ami-san is professional, kind, reliable, and hard-working, and her expertise was invaluable in navigating the complexities of our applications. She was always prompt in answering our questions and guiding us through the process. When additional documents were requested by the Immigration Office, she quickly provided assistance, even writing and submitting a detailed explanation of my family’s complicated history in Japanese on our behalf. As we neared the end of the estimated COE approval window, Ami-san proactively contacted the Immigration Office, making frequent calls and visits to check on our status. When we were told the processing time would be extended by a month, she continued to stay in close contact with the office, making several requests for expedited processing. Thanks to her persistence, the additional wait was much shorter than we had anticipated! We cannot recommend Amie Immigration Law Office enough! We feel so much gratitude having worked with Ami-san and truly thank her for her support, hard work, and kindness throughout this process. 😊
A MO30. March, 2025.Ami-san is a truly exceptional immigration lawyer. From the very beginning to the end of the entire process, her professionalism and helpfulness impressed me to no end. She helped me obtain a spouse visa in extremely short notice - and was extremely prompt in answering any questions I had. My immigration process was slightly irregular, and regardless, she navigated it flawlessly. She would often go far beyond what I would expect a lawyer to do for a client, and for that, I am forever grateful. If you are looking to immigrate to Japan, I wholeheartedly recommend Ami-san.

＜当事務所の特徴＞
海外で生活したことで、異なる文化の中で生活・仕事をする大変さを知り、日本に住みたい・働きたい外国人や、外国人を雇いたい企業様のお役にたちたいと思い、行政書士の資格を取りました。
ビザ（在留資格）とひとことでいっても現在29種類もあります。また同じ種類のビザでも、お客様の経歴や状況により、申請において必要になる書類や入管にアピールするべきことは違います。当事務所では、行政書士である私自身が丁寧にヒアリングをし、お客様とコミニュケーションを密にとることで、お客様の状況を理解したうえで、法律の知識を活かし最良な方法をご提案するとともに、許可を得られる最善の書類を作成を致します。そのためにお引き受けする件数を制限し、一人一人のお客様としっかり向き合えるようにしています。
事務所名のAmieはフランス語で「友達」の意味です。私の名前の由来でもあります。皆様にとって友達のような相談しやすい、ご依頼をいただくことで不安を解消できるような事務所を目指しております。
Immigration lawyer primarily assisting with VISA applications in Tokyo and Chiba. We handle online applications and provide services nationwide in Japan.
Having lived overseas, I understand the challenges of living and working in different cultures. With a desire to assist foreigners who want to live and work in Japan, as well as companies looking to hire foreigners, I obtained the qualification for an immigration lawyer (a administrative scrivener).
When it comes to visas (residence statuses), there are currently 29 different types. Moreover, even within the same type of visa, the required documents and the points to emphasize to the immigration authorities vary based on the client's background and circumstances. In our office, as a certified administrative scrivener, I personally conduct thorough consultations, closely communicate with the clients, and understand their situations. Based on this understanding and utilizing legal knowledge, we propose the best possible approach and create the most effective documents to secure approval. To achieve this, we limit the number of cases we take on, guaranteeing sufficient time and focus for every individual client.
The name of our office, "Amie," means "friend" in French, and my name is also derived from this word. I aspire to create an office that embodies the meaning of this word - approachable like a friend, where clients can comfortably consult and entrust their concerns, ultimately finding resolution.
