台灣籍人士申請歸化

申請歸化時，台灣籍人士必須準備台灣戶籍資料。
除了自己的戶籍之外，有可能還會追朔到父母親的戶籍。
因為每位法務局負責人的要求會有所不同，為了避免萬一，我們一般都會請客戶準備從母親出生起到現在為止的戶籍資料。

戶籍資料須全部附上翻譯

申請歸戶時，戶籍內容全部都必須翻譯。

戶籍資料一般大約是5-6份，總共約15頁左右嗎?
沒有戶籍制度的國家，通常只需準備出生證明和父母親的婚姻證明等幾頁的資料即可。但台灣籍人士，需要翻譯的量就相對較多。
另外，有時不只是翻譯，較早以前的戶籍都是用手寫的，還需要辨別手寫的內容。

如果無法辨別內容時

在必須附上日文翻譯的前提上，但又不能隨便翻。
因此，在這種情形下，就只能標註「無法讀取」或「無法辨別」。
戶籍內容中最重要的部分是自己和家人的關係證明。
如果這部分內容是可以辨別的話，其他像是同戶籍中叔叔伯伯等，比較瑣碎的「民國幾年幾月幾日・・・」等等，這些內容無法讀取也應該不會有太大的問題。

國際繼承時台灣戶籍資料很重要

最近很多的台灣籍人士在做繼承的手續時，也和日本人一樣，全部的台灣戶籍資料都必須準備。
雖然近年來戶籍資料已經數位化，但早年的手寫戶籍在解讀上還是比較困難的。

enter Japan. While life is gradually returning to normal, please find below the current situation and problems for foreigners entering Japan.

Current situation and problems regarding visa application for new foreign nationals who wish to enter Japan

From March 2022, Japan has loosened the regulations and allowing new foreign nationals to enter Japan. While life is gradually returning to normal, please find below the current situation and problems for foreigners entering Japan.

１、 New procedures when entering Japan.

Two procedures before the COVID-19 pandemic, ①Submitting the Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) documents in Japan. ②Applying through the Embassy of Japan in the applicants` home country.

Procedures from March 2022, ①Submitting the Certificate of Eligibility documents in Japan. ②Acquiring health certificate for new foreign nationals from ERFS (Entrants, Returnees Follow-up System). ③Visa will be issued by the Embassy of Japan in the applicants` home country.

Although acquiring an ERFS certificate is not that difficult, due to security problems, there are companies that are unable to download the necessary documents, or ambiguity in handling schedule changes, resulting in a not so smooth process.

２、 For foreigners who wish to enter Japan with business purposes but do not have the Certificate of Eligibility

From March 2022, even if the applicants do not have the Certificate of Eligibility, they are allowed to enter Japan with business purposes. However, it does not mean that if the reason for visiting Japan is for business, then the visa will be issued. The screening process is much stricter than before the COVID-19 pandemic, even if you apply, there may be possibilities that the application will be rejected.

For those who submitted the application without CoE and are rejected, there are cases that if the application is submitted again with the CoE, the application will be approved, it is likely that the Embassy will prioritize applications that includes the CoE.

Also, there may be occasions when the CoE cannot be posted due to delivery trouble. Therefore, for applicants/companies that wish to enter Japan early, please make sure to plan everything carefully before applying.

Regarding receiving Ukrainian refugees

Due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the number of Ukrainian citizens that fled the country has now reached over 6 million people, we would like to inform you that Japan also began receiving Ukrainian refugees.

1. Current situation regarding receiving Ukrainian refugees

According to the data gathered until 2022 May 22nd, Japan has received 1,040 Ukrainian refugees. Part of the data shows whether they have any guarantor, and most of them have someone they know who lives in Japan, so they decided to evacuate to Japan.

Japan will aim to receive more refugees from Ukraine and continue to make sure there are enough places to accommodate and support the refugees while they are in Japan.

The procedures regarding entering Japan

Currently, Embassy of Japan in Ukraine is closed. Therefore, for Ukrainian refugees who wish to evacuate to Japan, they must firstly go to the countries near Ukraine, such as Poland, Romania, Moldova, and Hungary, and then apply for visa from the Embassy of Japan in those countries. For refugees who wish to evacuate to Japan, a 90-day short term visa can be issued.

Usually when applying for visa to enter Japan, information about the guarantor while staying in Japan is compulsory, however, exception has been made for Ukrainian refugees.

2. For refugees who wish to stay more than 90 days after entering Japan

After entering Japan, for refugees who wish to stay longer than the 90 days period, visa can be switched to “Designated activity” visa, which grant the person to seek employment and can stay in Japan for one year.

Regarding the designated activity visa
・When applying, guarantor is needed.
・Apart from sex industry, there are no restrictions on the type of occupation and working hours.
・Currently, whether visa can be renewed after one year has not been decided yet.

Because whether visa can be renewed after one year is undecided, for those who have received the refugees (including companies who wish to hire the refugees), it is advised to switch to another visa as soon as possible.
　
We can help refugees with the above situations who wish to change to another visa.

Regarding evacuation, the first step is to evacuate to other countries nearby, however, for those refugees who wish to come to Japan, and considering the life while in Japan, the most important part is to secure employment.

For companies who wish to support the refugees, please refer to the above and we hope the information can be useful.

エルフス（ERFS）代理申請を大量処理

新規外国人の入国制限解除に伴い、新しい入国のシステムとして、入国前にERFS（エルフス）の申請を行う事が必要となっています。
これは、日本側の受入責任者（企業）が申請をするものであり、日本に受入責任者がいない場合には入国ができません。
また、受け入れ企業があったとしても、受け入れ企業様も通常業務で忙しい中ですので、新しいシステムの対応や手続きをする時間を割く事がないよう弊社で代理申請を行っております。

既に経営・管理4月のビザ（在留資格認定証明書）を取得されていたお客様で、日本に受入責任者がいない為にお困りであったケースも弊社がサポートさせていただきました。

このシステムがいつまで続くかは未定ですが、現時点では在留資格認定証明書→ERFS申請→大使館でのビザ手続きという3段階の手続きをする必要があります。

新しい提携事業者様とのお仕事を開始しました

業務提携先企業様が増え、新しい企業様との提携が始まりました。
自社の強みである外国人のビザ申請業務の知識、外国人雇用の知識等を活用し、両社共にビジネスが発展していくことを願っています。

ビザ申請業務

3月も多くの申請業務を行いました。
入国制限中は待ち時間のなかった入管が、ここにきて長時間ならばなければまず建物に入れない、申請まで1日かかるといった状況が続いています。
我々は予約が可能なため、混雑を避ける事が出来ておりますが、ご本人申請の方は混雑にご注意ください。

発信業務の強化準備をしております

現在、弊社の発信力を高める為、準備を行っています。
専属担当者のもと、着々と準備を進めておりますので、近々新たな取り組みが増える予定です。
