Short-Term Visa Application for Business Visitors | Invitation Support for Conferences and Corporate Training
Last Updated:
1. Visa Procedures for Inviting Participants to International Conferences and Corporate Training
This specialized service supports companies that invite large numbers of overseas participants to attend international conferences, corporate training programs, and similar events on short-term (business visitor) visas.
ACROSEED’s consultants communicate directly with participants in their home countries, providing instructions on required documents, preparing visa application forms, arranging international shipping, responding to participant inquiries, and advising on procedures with the relevant Japanese embassies and consulates abroad.
By outsourcing the substantial volume of communications and administrative work—which often becomes concentrated within a short timeframe—your internal HR workload can be significantly reduced.
For information on standard short-term visa applications, please see the following page:

Short-Term Visa Applications
For stays of up to 90 days, entry to Japan may be possible under “Temporary Visitor” status, commonly referred to as a tourist visa.
2. Service Overview
1. Document Preparation

4. Case Study
Tokyo-Based Trading Company (Minato Ward)
This company conducts in-house training in Tokyo twice annually, inviting top-performing employees from branch offices worldwide. As most invitees are from Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East—regions where a short-term visa for Japan is required—the HR department faced a significant administrative burden. The company therefore outsourced the entire process to ACROSEED.
