Overview

Japan has announced measures to attract digital nomads, aligning with a global trend of welcoming remote workers. The initiative aims to offer a type of Visa that allows extended stays for professionals who work independently or remotely for companies outside of Japan. The aim is to boost the local economy, especially in less urbanized regions, while benefiting from the diversity, innovation, tourism and local economy brought by these workers. With this measure, Japan seeks to position itself as an attractive and competitive destination for the growing global community of digital nomads.
