I work remotely for a US based employer, have US citizenship, and have been given permission to work from Japan for two months in September. I submitted all my documentation to the Japanese consulate in Los Angeles. They called me a day later to say they are sending all of my documents back because a) I am staying less than 90 days, and b) I do not need a visa since I am a "temporary" visitor and am being paid by a US company.
Everything I've read online suggests to me I am being given incorrect information. But I've talked to multiple people at the consulate and am unsure what else to do at this point. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do from here?
