Hi everyone! I have a question I've been wondering about regarding the Japan digital nomad visa, and I would appreciate any guidance!
I'm a Canadian currently working in Singapore under an employment pass (work visa) for a company. However, I was thinking about also applying for the digital nomad visa in Japan and working there for 6 months. From what I read online, I should be able to meet the criteria. However, I am nervous about two things:
- Do you think I'm eligible for the Japan digital nomad visa, even though I'm on an existing work visa in Singapore? Will this cause any issues? I will not be giving up my Singapore visa
- My company technically has a Japanese entity and even employees in Japan. However, I am employed under the Singapore entity of the company. Will this cause any issues with the requirement that the company is a "foreign company"?
I'll also call the consulate to ask, but I thought to ask here as well. Please let me know what you think or if there is anything else I should know. Thank you, everyone!
