For the upcoming season, our firm assisted the team in applying for the Certificates of Eligibility (COE) for two foreign athletes ("Entertainer" visa) and their accompanying family members ("Dependent" visa).

Inviting professional athletes directly impacts a team's strength and schedule, such as the opening game and the players' joining period, requiring reliable and speedy procedures. By fully utilizing cloud tools like Chatwork and Google Spreadsheets, we minimized the client's burden and proceeded with the applications swiftly, successfully obtaining approval for everyone.

Q1. [Concerns before request] What kind of problems or anxieties did you have before consulting our firm?

When selecting an administrative scrivener, we were carefully considering which professional would be the best fit for our request. We felt anxious about whether the Entertainer visas would be issued smoothly after the request, whether there would be differences in application speed or service quality depending on the administrative scrivener in charge, and whether there was a possibility that the applications might be denied. We were also concerned that the workflow and schedule might vary depending on the professional we chose, so we were making our decision very carefully.

Q2. [Deciding factor] What was the "deciding factor" for choosing our firm among many administrative scrivener offices?

First, the highly reasonable fees were one of the major reasons. Furthermore, your prompt and polite communication, along with the reliable support you provided, were significant deciding factors. Ultimately, what finalized our decision was that your firm had researched our company in advance and was already familiar with the activities of UENOHARA SUNRIZE. We were delighted that you paid attention to our initiatives and included a thoughtful remark about them. Thank you very much for this.

Q3. [Impressions of our service] How was the response and support from our firm (the person in charge) while the procedures were actually progressing?

You consistently provided polite and sincere support. You quickly answered our questions and shared the progress in an easy-to-understand manner, which allowed us to proceed with peace of mind. The contents of the shared sheets were very clear, and being able to smoothly complete our communications via Chatwork and Google Spreadsheets was a great help. In addition, we truly appreciated your flexible and willing response to our requests and sudden inquiries. Overall, we received exceptionally high-quality service.

Q4. [Results and Message] How do you feel now that the procedures have been successfully completed, and do you have a message for others who might have similar concerns?

We started consulting with you in late October and were able to obtain the Entertainer visas very smoothly thereafter. We received the approvals earlier than expected, and we are now greatly relieved. I feel that this smooth procedure and successful acquisition are entirely due to Mr. Hidaka's swift and accurate work, and I sincerely appreciate it.

If anyone is similarly struggling with obtaining an Entertainer visa, I highly recommend consulting Mr. Hidaka. He is an administrative scrivener you can entrust with peace of mind, as he is highly reliable and handles matters politely and speedily. If we have another opportunity in the future, we would definitely like to request your services again. He is a professional I can recommend from the bottom of my heart.

Message of Gratitude from the Administrative Scrivener

To Yamanashi Pro Sports Office Co., Ltd., thank you very much for your warm words. I am as happy and relieved as if it were my own matter that the statuses of residence for the athletes and their families were successfully approved.

During the process, thanks to your prompt cooperation in entering information into Chatwork and the spreadsheets, we were able to transition from the start of the project to the application and approval very smoothly.

For a professional sports team, visa procedures for foreign athletes are a critical mission where "failure is not an option." I am delighted that you entrusted our firm with such a heavy responsibility and that we could help create an environment where the team can safely focus on their play.

We sincerely wish UENOHARA SUNRIZE continued success! We will continue to provide our full support for renewal procedures and other needs after the athletes arrive in Japan.

If you are a team official or corporate representative troubled by inviting foreign professional athletes (Entertainer visa) or bringing over their families (Dependent visa), please feel free to consult our firm. We will propose the optimal schedule and procedures tailored to your situation.
