INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION / PRICE & PROCESS

CLEAR PRICING. CLEAR PROCESS.

Overseas investigation costs,
and the request process.
Understand first, then move forward.

We provide information on investigations overseas, centered on the Philippines, as well as Thailand, Vietnam and other countries.

Compared with domestic investigations, overseas investigations involve more factors that affect fees, such as the investigation area, local conditions, language and the personnel required.

At TSK INTERNATIONAL, we first confirm your investigation purpose and the information you currently have, and then outline the investigation content required and an estimate of the costs.

We clearly explain how fees are determined, the procedures before an investigation begins, and the process from local investigation to the reporting of results, so that you know them before making a request.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ on Overseas Investigation Fees and Contracts

Does an overseas investigation always cost several hundred thousand yen?

Not necessarily. The cost differs between a relatively limited investigation, such as checking public information, and a long-term investigation by local investigators. We provide an individual estimate according to the purpose of the investigation.

Is an investigation in the Philippines cheaper than in Thailand or Vietnam?

Fees are not determined by the country alone. They vary depending on the target area, investigation items, work required locally, and the information available in advance. We will consider this based on the details of your inquiry.

Are there expenses other than the investigation fee?

Local transportation costs, document acquisition fees, translation fees and similar expenses may be required separately. Please confirm before signing the contract what is included in the base fee and in what cases additional costs may be required.

Is there a way to reduce investigation costs?

Clarifying what you want to investigate and organizing the materials you currently have can help narrow the scope of the investigation. By prioritizing the necessary items to confirm, unnecessary investigation may be reduced in some cases.

Can I make a request from Japan?

You can consult us from Japan by email, phone or LINE. We will explain how contracts and required documents are handled and how the investigation proceeds on a case-by-case basis.

What happens if the investigation does not produce results?

Depending on the investigation target and local circumstances, the information you want may not be obtained. Please confirm in advance in the contract the success conditions, the content of the report, and how investigation fees are handled.

Does consulting you mean I am entering into a contract?

An investigation contract is never concluded by an inquiry alone. Please make your decision after confirming the scope of the investigation, fees, duration, contract terms and other details.
