HOW I GOT A DIGITAL NOMAD VISA FOR JAPAN

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Japan introduced a Digital Nomad visa in April. It allows visitors to legally work remotely from within Japan, with some requirements. This article details how a remote worker gained one of these visas and moved to Japan to work. It covers each step of their journey, including the application process, how they got the paperwork to fulfill the visa requirements, and what the visit to the embassy was like. Workers on the Digital Nomad visa will not be taxed on their income as they are not residents.
