4. Case Studies
1. Meiji University
To address anticipated declines in enrollment, Meiji University expanded its support for international students, particularly around “post-graduation job hunting.” This initiative was implemented in collaboration with ACROSEED.
Services Provided
1. On-campus consultation sessions at the Surugadai Campus
2. Delivery of visa and career guidance seminars
Seminars were delivered by ACROSEED’s Masafumi Miyagawa and Junya Orimo, covering “Obtaining a Work Visa When Joining a Japanese Company.” The engagement level from international students was exceptionally high, with a flood of questions during the Q&A session.
The strong motivation of international students demonstrates why Japanese employers are increasingly eager to hire them.
2. Tokyo Metropolitan “T” University
Previously, visa procedures were handled entirely by the Student Affairs Division. As the number of international students grew, administrative burdens became unsustainable, leading the university to outsource visa support to ACROSEED.
Services Provided
1. Regular on-campus consultations at Tokyo and Kanagawa campuses
2. Handling of telephone and email inquiries
3. Development of online visa guidance on the university’s website
4. Proxy visa application services

Case Studies
Examples of companies actively hiring foreign talent with ACROSEED’s support
Nationwide Service with No Travel Expenses
Our office is located in Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, but we handle immigration cases nationwide at a flat rate, without charging travel expenses.
For clients located outside the Tokyo area, we offer online consultations via Skype, Zoom, or other platforms, allowing face-to-face discussions and service provision equivalent to in-person meetings.
English and Chinese Language Support
Our bilingual staff can directly communicate with foreign employees, handling all application-related communications on behalf of HR managers.
Many HR managers find that handling inquiries from foreign employees regarding procedures adds to their workload. By outsourcing this to ACROSEED, you can significantly reduce that burden.

ISO 27001 is an international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), ensuring appropriate control of risks related to an organization’s information assets.
As one of the first in the industry to obtain ISO 27001 certification, ACROSEED is committed to preventing data breaches and maintaining the trust required by major corporations.
