Service Scope
goFLY Limited — a trusted visa processing agency in Bangladesh — specializes in Japan Short-Stay (Tourist/Visit/Business) visas via JVAC (VFS) and Embassy of Japan in Bangladesh. We provide advisory for Student/Family (long-stay) categories.
Japan work visas, Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visas, or Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) visas. These require employer sponsorship and Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from Japan. Any agency promising "guaranteed Japan work visa" without legitimate employer sponsorship is misleading you.
"Japan e-Visa from Bangladesh" is NOT available. Japan's e-Visa program does not include Bangladeshi passport holders. All Bangladeshi applicants must submit physically at JVAC/Embassy as per current rules.
