Tokyo is one of the world's great cities for digital nomads: ultra-fast internet, extraordinary safety, a vibrant tech community, and efficient public transport. Japan's digital nomad visa category (the Specified Skilled Worker and related remote-work pathways) means legal long-term stays are now more accessible than ever.

Legal visa pathway, a company entity, and international banking in place.
Yes. Japan launched a 6-month digital nomad visa in March 2024. Applicants must earn at least JPY 10 million (approximately $65,000 USD) per year and hold health insurance. The visa is non-renewable but can be followed by other stay categories. We guide you through the eligibility requirements and application process.
Opening a local Japanese bank account as a short-term visitor is very difficult. Most Tokyo-based nomads use international digital banks such as Wise or Revolut for daily expenses. We assist with setting up international banking that works seamlessly in Japan.
Japan's digital nomad visa is intended for short-term stays only. Nomads who spend more than 183 days in a calendar year in Japan may become Japanese tax residents. We do not provide tax advice; consult a Japanese tax specialist for your specific situation.
