Visitor Statistics
Many digital nomads travel on tourist visas, but these visas don't allow for long-term stays in one country. Recently, many countries have started issuing "digital nomad visas" that allow remote workers to stay for extended periods, ranging from six months to several years.
Japan's Ministry of Justice has amended the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act and launched the "Digital Nomad Visa" program starting April 1, 2024. Eligible individuals are foreigners employed by overseas corporations or organizations, engaged in work using information and communication technology in Japan.
Remote work is growing rapidly, with hundreds of millions of people now working from home, cafes, or coworking spaces. These people lead location-independent lives and often travel or move to new places. This report, based on our site visitor data, reveals who these people are, what work they do, and how they live.
