Frequently Asked Questions

First, I'd like to hear about the plan details in person. What should I do?

We offer free online counseling for consultations and questions. Please feel free to contact us through our free consultation form to get started.

Will I be pressured into signing up during the free consultation?

During the free consultation, we will make several suggestions based on your preferences. We do not engage in high-pressure sales tactics, so you can rest assured.

Is it okay if I'm busy and don't have much time?

Yes, don't worry. You can proceed with your activities at your own pace. We can arrange and set up meetings on weekday evenings or during your free time on weekends, according to your convenience.

Is there a screening process for membership?

Yes, there is. Basically, anyone who is serious about getting married is welcome to join. However, to ensure a safe and secure environment for all our members, we require the submission of various documents such as a certificate of single status, academic background, annual income, and residence.

I just quit my job to start my own business and my income is not stable. Will this affect my membership?

In some cases, we may not recommend joining. There is no problem as long as you can pay the fees for the activities, but if you do not have a stable income, your activities may not proceed as you wish.

I have a history of divorce. Can I still join?

You are very welcome. Please be assured that many of our members have a history of divorce. Also, depending on the circumstances of your divorce, we may consider your application.

What are the payment methods?

We accept cash, bank transfer, and credit card payments. Details of the payment methods will be provided during the first free counseling session.

I have little dating experience and am not confident I can get married. Will you support me?

Yes, please rest assured. Regardless of your dating experience, we will do our utmost to support you so that you can engage in your activities with confidence.

Through regular individual counseling, we will help you discover your charms and strengths, building a foundation for you to act with confidence. A counselor who understands your anxieties will also introduce you to partners based on compatibility and values.

We also utilize IBJ's online training and offer free chat consultations at any time to resolve any questions or concerns during your activities, accompanying you all the way to marriage.

I'm shy and anxious about attending parties and events. Do you offer support?

Our matchmaking service is primarily based on one-on-one meetings. Therefore, participation in large parties or events is not mandatory, so please don't worry. While we do not offer support by accompanying you to meetings, we provide specific, individual advice on fashion, demeanor, conversation skills, and communication to help you approach them with confidence. Please feel free to consult with your counselor about any concerns beforehand. We will find a solution together.

What are the meeting rules & manners?

To provide a safe and secure environment for all our members, we have established rules and manners for all meetings, as set by the IBJ Federation. By adhering to these rules, we ask for your cooperation in ensuring that all members can proceed with their matchmaking activities comfortably.

Are online meetings available?

Yes, but in-person meetings are the default. If you wish to have an online meeting with a member, you must inform your counselor before making the request, state your preference for an online meeting, and have it confirmed.

After a meeting is confirmed, how do we schedule it?

Once a meeting is confirmed, your counselor will coordinate with the other party to arrange a schedule that works for both of you. A confirmed meeting is considered a commitment to meet, and we will proceed with scheduling on that basis. If scheduling becomes difficult, your counselor will be flexible and work with you to find a solution.

Do you provide support for the legal procedures of international marriage?

Our agency supports the legal procedures for international marriage and subsequent spouse visa applications through the following system:

1. Information and Advice on Procedures: Our counselors, who have specialized knowledge in international marriage, provide basic information and advice on the necessary procedures. We offer concrete advice based on extensive experience, especially for marriages with Chinese nationals.

2. Collaboration with Specialists: For complex procedures and document preparation (e.g., Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage, spouse visa applications), we will introduce you to our affiliated administrative scriveners. By hiring a specialist, you can ensure that the procedures are handled accurately and smoothly. (*Administrative scrivener fees are to be borne by the client.)

We work in close partnership to ensure a smooth process from your engagement to the completion of all legal procedures, so you can rest assured.
