Justice Minister Koizumi considers six-month residence status for “digital nomads”. By staying in Japan, they are expected to expand consumption and create innovative technologies.
A public comment session will be held from the 3rd to solicit opinions from a wide range of people, and the plan is to start the system next month. According to the Immigration Services Agency, it is estimated that there are more than 35 million digital nomads worldwide, mainly young people from Europe and America.
