About Us

About us

Future Japan — Japan Guide Center was started by two friends living in Japan, and since 2021 has served Mongolians around the world, beginning with travel visa support. Today we also help residents of Japan with permanent residency, and act as a bridge for people who want to attend language school in Japan and the USA. Both founders applied for and obtained Japanese permanent residency themselves, and now live in the USA.

Enkhbayar E. (Eggyh)

Co-founder

Graduated from the Japanese language department of Orkhon University in Mongolia and earned an MBA at the Academy of Management, then first came to Japan on a company employee visa. Spent four years at a Japanese language school in Tokyo helping many Mongolian students study in Japan, followed by five years at a travel company. Obtained a Highly Skilled Professional visa in the seventh year in Japan, and permanent residency in the ninth. Qualified for both on the strength of education gained entirely in Mongolia, Japanese language ability, work experience in Mongolia and Japan, income and age — and has since shared that experience to guide many others through the same process.

Went on to work at a Japanese language school in Tokyo, guiding many Mongolian students through studying in Japan. Obtained a Highly Skilled Professional visa in the fourth year in Japan and permanent residency in the eighth. Despite relatively few years in Japan, qualified for both through education completed in Japan, Japanese language ability, age and income — and has since shared that experience with many others.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do I receive when I buy a guide?

Each package contains the main PDF guide, a Word file with sample letters of reason and a blank template, an Excel document checklist that also counts your days spent outside Japan, and instructions for the guarantor letter. Template 3 additionally includes a points calculator for the Highly Skilled Professional categories.

Which pathway applies to me?

Download the free 7-page overview first — it explains the three pathways and the conditions for each. If you are still unsure after reading it, message us on Facebook and describe your situation.

How is the guide delivered?

Once we confirm your transfer, we email the files, usually within 24 hours. Each file is watermarked with the buyer's name, so please do not redistribute it.

I do not live in Japan. Can I still use the guides?

Yes. The guides are digital and delivered by email, so you can buy and read them from anywhere. Note that the application itself must be submitted in person at a regional immigration bureau in Japan.

Is this legal advice?

No. Future Japan is not a law firm and these guides are informational. They are based on the Immigration Services Agency's published guidelines and on our founders' own successful applications. Rules change, so always check the latest official information before you apply.

How do I get in touch?

All enquiries go through our Facebook page. Use any “Contact on Facebook” button on this page, describe your situation, and we will reply. We work across Japanese and US time zones, so replies may be delayed depending on where you are.
