Takao Koguchi is a Japanese immigration Lawyer. He is currently the head and legal representative of Visaed80, a Tokyo-based administrative scrivener office employing 10 staff members from four countries.

Visaed80 was founded in 2001. It has since acquired more than 18 years of experience in Japanese immigration. It offers professional legal services to individuals and enterprises worldwide to obtain employment-based visas and permanent residency, including family-based permanent residence and citizenship for non-Japanese individuals. Visaed80 also specializes in establishing companies and obtaining business-related permits, particularly for the construction industry.

In addition to his role at Visaed80, Koguchi lectures at seminars to help Japanese enterprises select and hire foreigners and help those foreigners obtain and maintain legal resident status in Japan.

Visaed80 maintains a strategic alliance with a U.S. law firm that provides immigration assistance to potential investors seeking permanent residency, entrepreneurs seeking to establish a business, and companies looking to expand their presence by opening new offices in the United States. Because of this cooperative relationship, Visaed80 can deal with U.S. immigration matters in Japan more easily.

Koguchi has a bachelor’s degree from Waseda University in Japan. He is licensed to practice as an administrative scrivener in Japan.

Koguchi speaks Japanese and English.
