I created a free guide for the Japanese Digital Nomad Visa

I have seen countless posts asking things related to rules or applying to the new Japanese Digital Nomad Visa, which is totally understandable, as it's new and obscure. I was one of the first to get the visa last year, and I documented my experience living in Tokyo [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/digitalnomad/comments/1kjx34i/report_6_months_in_tokyo_with_the_new_japanese/). Since the official documentation is so unclear and leaves a lot of questions unanswered (e.g. what documents to add to the application, re-entry permit, how to fill out the forms), I decided to create a free, 19-page guide explaining the requirements in detail, giving a step-by-step walkthrough around the application process and listing dozens of FAQs. Some answers I had to ask directly to Japanese Immigration over the phone or email. You can find the guide [here](https://tokyodigitalnomad.com). Let me know if you have any questions! --- **Post Details:** - **Subreddit:** r/digitalnomad - **Author:** u/Kotoriii - **Score:** 15 upvotes - **Upvote Ratio:** 81.0% - **Comments:** 10 - **Posted:** 7/13/2025 - **URL:** https://reddit.com/r/digitalnomad/comments/1lyyr9u/i_created_a_free_guide_for_the_japanese_digital/
