Australian citizens living in the United States can apply for Japan's Digital Nomad visa (Designated Activities) — a 6-month stay for remote workers earning at least ¥10 million a year — at the Japanese embassy or consulate covering where you live in the United States, before travelling.
Six-month visa for remote workers of overseas companies earning ¥10 million+ a year.

手続き開始時期
出発日の 15 日〜30 日 前から手続きを開始してください。
Assemble your passport, visa application form with photo, proof of annual income of ¥10 million or more, and private health insurance covering injury/illness in Japan (or a Certificate of Eligibility, which lets you omit the income/activity/insurance documents).
Submit your visa application form (with photo) and supporting documents at the Japanese embassy or consulate covering where you live. The Digital Nomad visa must be applied for from outside Japan.
The embassy or consulate decides whether to issue the visa. A Certificate of Eligibility speeds processing but does not guarantee the issuance of a visa.

予約枠の確保 — 早めに予約を · コミュニティ報告、2026-06-13 に確認済み
- 予約枠は公開スケジュールなしでバッチ単位で解放されます。多くの場合、現地の早朝、月曜日の午前中、毎月1日前後に解放されます。
- 人気のある領事館（大都市のフランス・イタリア・スペインなど）では、新しい枠が数分でなくなることがあります。事前に登録・ログインした状態で確認してください。
- キャンセルにより日中も枠が空くことがあるため、「空きなし」と表示されていても毎日確認してください。
- できるだけ早く申請してください。出発の最大6か月前から申請可能です。1〜2か月前まで待つと、枠がまったく残っていないことがほとんどです。
知っておくと便利
- The stay is capped at 6 months with NO extension, and you cannot re-apply until 6 months after leaving Japan.
- You must hold private health insurance with substantial coverage for the whole stay.
- Income of ¥10 million+/year must be from work for an overseas employer or clients — not from Japanese sources.
