Case Overview | Reapplication Under Time Pressure After Initial Denial
In this case, a Chinese national received a job offer after graduating from a beauty vocational school and applied for a work visa (Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services). However, the initial self-filed application was denied. With the short-term stay period nearing its expiration, the applicant refiled the application.

Client’s Experience | Successfully Obtaining a Work Visa Through Prompt Reapplication

Ms. Junyan Liang (China) |
| Request: Obtaining a Work Visa After Initial Denial |
I am truly happy to have successfully obtained the Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services visa.
Since childhood, I have been interested in Japanese culture and dreamed of living in Japan, which led me to study here. I studied Japanese for two years and then attended a beauty vocational school for another two years. After graduation, I wanted to fulfill my dream in Japan, so I applied for a position at Takumi Agency Co., Ltd. and was hired.
However, in Japan, it is currently quite difficult to obtain a work visa in the beauty industry. I initially applied for the work visa on my own, but the application was denied, which was very shocking. At that time, my short-term stay visa was about to expire, and I felt extremely anxious.
Upon the recommendation of the company president, I decided to reapply with the help of an administrative scrivener. We visited ACROSEED together and consulted with Mr. Miyagawa. As time was very limited, Mr. Miyagawa and administrative scrivener Mr. Shimomura responded quickly, prepared all necessary documents and materials, and submitted the reapplication.
As a result, the visa was approved within one week. I was deeply impressed by how fast the approval came, far beyond my expectations. I am very glad that I chose ACROSEED, and if I face visa-related issues again in the future, I would definitely ask ACROSEED for assistance. Thank you very much.
Who Can Benefit From This Case
For work visas (Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services), it is essential that factors such as educational background, job description, employment conditions, and the company’s acceptance system can be explained consistently. Even if an initial application is denied, approval may still be possible through reapplication by identifying potential reasons for denial and strengthening insufficient explanations or documentation. Especially when the stay period is close to expiration, organizing priorities and preparing materials in a way that clearly communicates to immigration authorities within a short time frame is critical.
- Those who applied for a work visa on their own and were denied
- Those whose short-term stay or other status of residence is nearing expiration and require urgent reapplication
- Those concerned about the consistency between job duties (especially service or beauty-related roles) and visa status
- Companies that want to ensure successful acquisition of residence status for newly hired foreign employees
