Husband and I are hoping to come to Japan for 6mo in Jan 2026 with our (then) 4.5yo daughter. It's been our dream to spend a longer period of time in Japan and we want to take advantage of going with our daughter before she starts elementary school here in Canada.
I'll be able to take an unpaid sabbatical from my job at that time. Husband is torn on working or taking unpaid leave as well-his job is meeting heavy and he'd have to work evenings (we live on the west coast).
Is it possible to only work for part of the period you're on a digital nomad visa? Say my husband works for a couple months then takes unpaid leave the rest?
I know it may be easier for us to just do 2x3mo tourist visas with a visa run in between, which we'd chance if it was just the 2 of us, but with our daughter we're hoping for more security.
