[Work Visa Approval Case] Renewal Applied Independently and Denied → Reapplied After Returning Home and Obtained a 5-Year Period
Work Visa Renewal Denied → Returned Home → Reapplied and Obtained 5-Year Period
Case Overview | After Obtaining a Work Visa, Renewal Was Denied, Then Reapplied and Obtained a 5-Year Period
In this case, we initially supported the client in obtaining a work visa. Later, the client independently applied for a renewal, which resulted in a denial, forcing them to return to their home country. After consulting our office again, we reorganized the situation and proceeded with a reapplication, ultimately resulting in the successful acquisition of a work visa with a 5-year period of stay.
- Initial: Supported the acquisition of a work visa (the review mentions a relationship spanning 12 years)
- Midway: Applied independently for a period-of-stay renewal → Denied
- Result: Returned home due to denial → Reapplied and reacquired a work visa
- Most Recent: Supported by assigned staff (Miyagawa & Komura) and obtained a 5-year period of stay (as stated in the review)

| Request Details: Work visa acquisition / Reapplication after renewal denial (5-year period obtained) |
It has already been 12 years since we first met Attorney Miyagawa regarding my younger brother’s work visa.
When we arrogantly attempted to apply for a renewal on our own midway through the process, it failed, forcing us to start over. My brother had to return to his home country, and we once again asked Attorney Miyagawa for help. Recently, with additional support from Attorney Komura, we were able to obtain a 5-year visa, and we are filled with gratitude and satisfaction.
Attorney Miyagawa, Attorney Komura, we sincerely look forward to your continued support when applying for naturalization as well!

Who This Case Is Helpful For
When renewing or reapplying for a work visa, it is essential to carefully identify the factors that may have led to a denial. Based on that analysis, employment conditions, job duties, the company’s structure, and the applicant’s actual activities must be reorganized in a way that clearly conveys the situation to immigration authorities. Even in cases involving a prior denial or return to the home country, it is often possible to restore stable employment and life in Japan by rebuilding the application appropriately according to the circumstances.
- Those who are concerned about handling additional documents or explanations during work visa renewal
- Those who were denied after independently applying for renewal or change and are considering reapplication
- Those who wish to re-obtain a visa to work in Japan after once returning to their home country
- Those looking for an office that can provide continuous support with a view toward future permanent residency or naturalization
