Explain the decision in plain language
I separate confirmed requirements, practical considerations, and points that depend on individual assessment.
Akira Baba Immigration Office
About Akira Baba
Gyoseishoshi / Immigration Procedures Specialist
I support foreign residents, families, and employers with Japanese residence-status procedures from Wako, Saitama. My role is not only to prepare forms, but to clarify the relevant facts, timing, and supporting evidence before a filing decision is made.
日本語（ご紹介）
埼玉県和光市を拠点に、外国人本人、ご家族及び企業を対象として、日本の在留資格手続を支援しています。単に申請書を作成するのではなく、申請を決める前に、重要な事実、時期及び証拠資料を整理することを重視しています。
Professional Approach
A good application begins with the right decision
My aim is to help clients understand not only whether an application may be possible, but whether the timing, evidence, and future implications have been considered carefully.
Immigration matters are rarely decided by one fact alone. Current residence status, employment, family circumstances, tax and social-insurance records, travel history, timing, and available documents may need to be considered together. General information can identify the framework, but an individual conclusion requires individual facts.
日本語（行政書士としての考え方）
申請できる可能性だけでなく、申請時期、証拠資料及び将来への影響まで慎重に検討することを重視しています。
在留資格、就労状況、家族関係、納税・社会保険、出国歴、申請時期及び利用できる資料は、相互に関係する場合があります。一般的な制度説明と、個別事情に基づく判断は区別して取り扱います。
Working Principles
What I value in client work
Consider whether to proceed now
The appropriate answer may be to apply, wait, collect evidence, address a past issue, or consider another route.
Define the work before it begins
The service, included work, fee, and next stage are explained before paid work starts.
日本語（大切にしていること）
分かりやすさ：確定している要件、実務上の確認事項、個別判断が必要な点を分けて説明します。
時期：すぐ申請することだけを前提とせず、待つ、資料を集める、過去の問題を整理する、別の方法を検討するという選択肢も含めます。
業務範囲：有料業務を始める前に、サービス内容、含まれる業務、料金及び次の段階を明確にします。
Practice Areas
Main areas of support
The appropriate route and document scope depend on the applicant’s present status and circumstances.
Permanent Residence & Highly Skilled Professional
- Permanent Residence route and timing
- HSP point-based planning
- Past and current evidence for relevant point dates
- Tax, pension, health-insurance, residence, and travel records
Work-Related Residence Statuses
- COE applications
- Change and extension of status
- Job changes and permitted activities
- Employer-side documents and coordination
Spouse & Family-Related Matters
- Dependent status
- Spouse of Japanese National
- Spouse of Permanent Resident
- Long-Term Resident matters
Selected Business & Corporate Matters
- Business Manager matters where the requirements and business plan are concrete
- Residence-status checks relating to hiring
- Defined corporate reviews within an agreed scope
Business Manager matters are accepted selectively. A general wish to start a business in Japan is not, by itself, sufficient for an application engagement; the requirements, structure, funding, office arrangements, and business plan must be sufficiently concrete for review.
日本語（主な取扱分野）
永住・高度専門職、就労資格、配偶者・家族関係を主な取扱分野としています。
経営・管理案件は、要件、事業体制、資金、事業所及び事業計画が具体的な案件に限り、受任可能性を検討します。日本で事業を始めたいという一般的な希望のみをもって申請受任を前提とするものではありません。
How I Work
From initial inquiry to application work
Initial inquiry
A short message is used to confirm scope, basic missing information, and the appropriate service.
Individual decision
If eligibility, timing, risk, or documents require individual assessment, a paid consultation or Decision Check may be proposed.
Defined engagement
If application support is appropriate, the work scope, fee, payment timing, and required documents are explained.
Preparation and filing
Documents are collected and prepared in stages, followed by filing and any agreed post-filing work.
At the initial-inquiry stage, you do not need to provide a detailed explanation or attach sensitive identity documents. If the matter proceeds, the required documents and a suitable submission method will be explained.
日本語（業務の進め方）
初回問い合わせでは、取扱範囲、追加で必要となる基本情報及び適切なサービスを確認します。
申請要件、時期、リスク又は書類について個別判断が必要な場合は、有料相談又はDecision Checkをご案内することがあります。申請支援へ進む場合は、業務範囲、料金、支払時期及び必要書類を説明します。
初回段階では、長い説明や機微な本人確認書類の添付は必要ありません。
Independent Judgment
The appropriate advice is not always to apply immediately
Professional support should help a client make a considered decision. Depending on the facts, it may be more appropriate to wait, preserve or obtain evidence, correct an administrative issue, maintain the current status, or consider a different route.
Short-term question
Is there a route that may be available now, and what evidence would be required?
Longer-term question
How might the timing affect future options, stability, renewal, Permanent Residence, or family planning?
No professional can guarantee an Immigration result. The purpose of preparation is to present the facts and evidence accurately and consistently within the applicable framework.
日本語（申請を急がない判断）
事実関係によっては、直ちに申請するよりも、待つ、証拠を保管・取得する、行政上の問題を整える、現在の在留資格を維持する、又は別の方法を検討する方が適切な場合があります。短期的な申請可否だけでなく、将来の選択肢、安定性、更新、永住及び家族計画への影響も検討します。
