Japan for digital nomads
Punctual trains, neighbourhood cafés and seasons that change the landscape.
Japan's digital nomad visa lets you work remotely for employers or clients abroad for up to six months if you earn at least JPY 10 million a year. It has existed since March 2024, cannot be extended and also requires medical insurance with JPY 10 million of cover and a nationality on the official list, which includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and most of the EU.
