Digital Nomad (Designated Activities)：英国 → 日本
British 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.
- 有效期
- Single stay of up to 6 months
- 入境次数
- As granted on the visa
- 单次最长停留
- Up to 6 months — no extension will be granted
何时开始办理
建议在出行前 15 天 至 30 天 开始办理。
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.

- 名额分批放出，没有固定的公开时间——通常在当地清晨、周一上午以及每月 1 号前后。
- 热门领事馆（如法国、意大利、西班牙的大城市）一批名额可能在几分钟内被抢光——请提前注册并登录后再查看。
- 全天都可能因取消而释放名额，因此即使显示“无可预约”也请每天查看。
- 因此请尽早申请——最早可在出行前六个月。拖到出行前 1–2 个月往往已无名额。
