| Request: Business Manager Visa acquisition / Application for change to a Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) Visa |
About five years ago, thanks to Mr. Miyagawa, I was able to successfully obtain a Business Manager Visa.
And this time, thanks to Mr. Matsumoto, I was able to change to a Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) Visa in less than two weeks after applying, and I am deeply grateful that it was recognized as 80+ points.
At ACROSEED Immigration Lawyer's Office, they always responded quickly, and each time I had detailed questions or concerns, they clearly explained everything to me.
I would also like to request their support for my next permanent residence application. If you are worried about visas, please try consulting them at least once. Thank you for your continued support.

Who This Case Will Be Helpful For
Because the Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) Visa is points-based, it is important to determine “which items to score points on” and “how to present supporting documents.” Also, if you are looking ahead to a future permanent residence application, choosing the right status of residence, the period of stay, and organizing your actual activities are key points.
- Those considering a change from a Business Manager Visa to a Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) Visa
- Those who are not confident about the points calculation (70 points / 80+ points) and want to organize supporting documents
- Those who value speedy filing while also ensuring explanations that will not be misunderstood during screening
- Those who want to strategically choose a status of residence with a future permanent residence application in mind
