What is a Certificate of Eligibility (COE)?
An administrative scrivener can professionally support foreign nationals in applying for a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and handling new entry procedures to Japan as a legal representative for obtaining residency status. One of their key advantages is the ability to proceed with the application even if the individual is not physically present in Japan, especially for new entries from abroad.
