Since the previous Digital Nomad megathread hit the magic 6 month mark and got auto-archived, here's another one.
Please keep all general discussion on the Digital Nomad visa here. You're welcome to make a new post to discuss plans that the Digital Nomad visa might be a part of, but all discussions about the visa itself, the requirements, and things like that belong here.
The basic facts on the visa are:
- You must be a citizen of a country that has a tax treaty with Japan. There are 49 countries eligible.
- A yearly income of 10 million yen. This is gross income, not after tax.
- You must have your own health insurance, including accidental death coverage.
- This visa does not confer resident status.
- The visa allows 6 months in Japan, and then a 6 month waiting period before applying again.
The MOFA webpage regarding the DN visa is here: https://www.mofa.go.jp/ca/fna/pagewe_000001_00046.html
As always with our megathreads remember that normal subreddit rules still apply.

Is there a limit to how many times you can renew this visa?
New data point: applied through the consulate in Geneva, Switzerland, got the visa in 2 weeks.
For the ‘Spousal’ version of this Visa, they probably require a marriage certificate, correct? As you need to provide documentation proving the relationship, and I’m not sure how you would do that as Common-Law?
