Japan Wants More Remote Workers to Boost Economy
Briefly

Ryo Osera, executive officer of the Japan Digital Nomad Association, emphasized that the new Digital Nomad Visa is a 'significant step' by the government to attract skilled remote workers but noted its six-month duration is shorter compared to similar programs in the region. He believes attracting long-term residents could provide solutions to Japan's super-aged society and declining birth rate.
As digital nomadism rises globally, it's estimated that there are about 35 million digital nomads worldwide, each spending an average of $22,500 annually, thereby providing a substantial boost to local economies.
