Japan’s Immigration Services Agency recently declared its plan to issue a new digital nomad visa, joining the trend among Asian countries. This visa, anticipated for weeks, will soon become available to citizens from 49 countries, including the UK and the US. It permits recipients to live and work remotely across Japan for a maximum of six months.

The digital nomad community worldwide has warmly received the news, with substantial acclaim on platforms such as Reddit’s r/DigitalNomad and r/Japan, indicating a strong interest. Despite the enthusiasm, potential applicants have raised concerns over the demanding eligibility requirements associated with the visa.

According to a report by the Japan Times, to qualify for the visa, individuals must prove an annual income of at least ¥10 million (approximately £54,356 or $66,622), possess private health insurance, and understand that they cannot obtain a residence card. The visa expires after six months without the option for renewal. Despite these stringent conditions, the visa is expected to attract significant interest, particularly from those seeking to extend their stay beyond the standard 90-day visa-free tourist period.
