  1. Are there any restrictions against forex trading, crypto investing by oneself, etc while on a work visa?

    I lost my job awhile back and while I’m searching for a new role, I continue to do this on the side (as I’ve done for several years prior to moving to Japan in the first place).

    I wasn’t sure if immigration would view this as a violation while I’m not actively employed, since it’s my only source of “income” at the moment.

    Thanks.
