Free Legal and Administrative Consultation for Foreign Residents

We hold a free consultation session every month for foreign residents and their family members. Lawyers and administrative scriveners are available for consultation, and interpreters can be arranged if needed. Each consultation lasts 45 to 60 minutes.

This service is available to those who live or work in Kashiwa City. The number of consultations is limited, so reservations are required and accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Each case may be consulted up to two times.

Consultation Topics Residence status, visas, international marriage, divorce, wills and inheritance, debt issues, children's education, workplace problems, domestic violence, neighborhood disputes, traffic accidents, and other daily life matters.
