JDNA is dedicated to improving the domestic acceptance environment for digital nomads and disseminating information on the subject.
On March 29, 2024, in response to the issuance of the “Specified Activities (Digital Nomads and their Spouses/Children)” visa, otherwise known as the “Japan Digital Nomad Visa,” by the immigration Services Agency of Japan, JDNA released a comprehensive Q&A page titled “Japan’s Digital Nomad Visa: The Complete Guide (2024)” in English.
