<Introduction>
Hello, this is Kenji Nishiyama, a Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist. The “Nishiyama Immigration Service” that I run will provide a residence application agency service (see below for usage image) that utilizes the system of the residence application online API provided by the Immigration Bureau and the Digital Agency in February next year. Processing can be completed online without having to wait at the Immigration Office counter, and it is possible to check for incomplete input using the application form template, reducing the costs traditionally associated with applications, thus providing a low-cost agency service. can do. Due to the labor shortage and the declining birthrate, the hurdles for foreigners to obtain a status of residence are decreasing (newly established status of residence: Specified Skilled Worker), but it is getting more important for companies and organizations (accepting organizations) to properly grasp the status of their residence. The demand for digitization is expected to become even stronger in the area of residence applications.
