My question is exactly what the title says, I want to live and work from Japan for a US company. Is that possible? Has anyone done this before? Can I be a digital nomad in Japan?
For context, I am a US graduate (Indian Citizen now living in India) and just starting out my career (<2 years of experience), I got an amazing job offer at a completely remote company but they allowed work only from the US. I have a BBA and graduated with a 3.8 GPA and studied Economics, Statistics, and Psychology. I don't code but I have done Data Analyst, Business Consultant, and Operations Analyst roles, open to any roles that go with my majors.
I want to learn Japanese at a Japanese school in Japan but I will need to find a job first to pay for it and support my life in Japan. I have been applying for some time but haven't really got any leads yet. Can someone please help me or encourage me if you have been in the same situation before?
I don't have any type of Japanese VISA yet, but I think I will require a long-term working VISA because I want to stay there for more than 90 days, work from there, and be a student while working.
So, here is my question asking for three things:
- Are there any companies in Japan that specifically hire US graduates and don't require Japanese?
- Are there any American companies that hire US graduates but operate from Japan?
- Can I work at a Japanese firm without knowing any Japanese?
I'm sure there will be tax and VISA constraints eventually which is why I want to find a company that is comfortable with a situation like mine. Any help will be appreciated!
Edit: Updated my citizenship, education, location, and Japan VISA type.
