Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing

I'm not sure which plan to choose. Can I talk it through with someone?
Absolutely. Just share your situation via the free consultation form or LINE and we'll recommend the plan that best fits your needs. There's no obligation to proceed after the consultation.
Are there any additional charges on top of the listed price?
No. The price you see is all you pay to VisaSHOGUN. Please note that the government application fee (currently ¥6,000, subject to change during the 2026 fiscal year) is payable separately to the immigration bureau — this is not a charge from us.
Can I upgrade from the Light Plan to the Pro Plan mid-way?
Yes. If your situation turns out to be more complex than expected, or you decide you'd like us to handle the submission, you can upgrade to the Pro Plan by paying the difference. Just let us know.
Is there a refund if my application is denied?
The outcome of an immigration review is ultimately outside our control, so we are unable to offer refunds based on the result. With the Pro Plan, we do everything in our power to eliminate refusal risks through thorough pre-submission preparation.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit card and bank transfer. Full payment details will be provided after you sign up.
