					<description>Hi Karen,

I don't think I was a special case, as far as I can tell you can make change of status of residence application at the immigration bureau in Shinagawa (Tokyo) or other bureaus in Japan. They have a help desk you can ask these questions - http://www.moj.go.jp/ENGLISH/information/iic-01.html</description>

					<description>Hi Chris
I've just stumbled upon your blog and I apologise for the message out of the blue! Basically I am in the middle of applying for a work visa too, although different type to you. 
I found it interesting that you could change visa's without having to return to the UK. This option would help me alot, although I was avoiding it as I thought it would mean unneccessary flights back. Is it usual or was you a 'special case'?

Thanks</description>

					<description>Hi Brett,

I met 2 scriveners, one I found from searching on the net, the other was introduced by a friend. Both seemed very competent and had plenty of visa experience.

I have a physical office in Tokyo. For the purpose of the visa application I submitted the tenancy agreement (or copy I can't remember) plus some photos of the office itself. I can't comment on using a proxy - sorry!</description>

					<description>Hi,

I read with interest your blog about obtaining a visa.  I am preparing to attempt the same thing with the same approach: Representative Office/Intra-company transfer visa.  I have a couple of questions.  First, who did you use as your scrivener?  I have talked to two here so far and neither gave me any confidence.  I knew more about Representative Offices in Japan than either of them.  Second, did you actually have a physical office here?  I am considering using a proxy like these guys (http://www.progenomics.com/japanoffice.html).

Thanks</description>
