Japan’s Immigration Services Agency has confirmed that it will introduce a six-month digital nomad visa by the end of March.
The visa will be available to applicants earning ¥10 million (R1,3 million) annually from 49 countries with current visa-free entry and double-taxation agreements with Japan, reports nomadsembassy.com.
Applicants must also have private health insurance. Under these conditions, digital nomad families will be welcome to stay in Japan for the duration of their visit.
Nomads will not be able to renew their visas in Japan and will have to reapply after leaving the country for six months.
