Effect of the recent Tohoku earthquake on our business
18/03/2011

The big earthquake that hit Tohoku region last week has been causing the limited use of electricity, telecommunication, transportation, and other social infrastructures, greatly affecting the daily businesses of our staff members. Given the circumstances, we have been shortening our office hours to “9:00am-4:00pm” until March 25th, except for urgent matters.
The business operations at the immigration offices also seem to have been quite confused, obliging us to limit the immigration-related applications except those which require urgent processing.
We feel quite sorry for your inconveniences, but we would appreciated it if you could kindly understand the situation.
