The rise of remote work has made it possible for many professionals to work from anywhere in the world, as long as they have a laptop and reliable internet connection. This trend is especially prevalent among software engineers and IT professionals.
Recognizing this shift, Japan has introduced a Digital Nomad visa, allowing individuals with an annual income of over 10 million yen (S$87,400 / INR 5.4 lakh) to stay in the country for up to six months. While visa holders cannot sign employment contracts with local companies, they can continue to work for their overseas employers.
Similarly, South Korea and Taiwan offer digital nomad visa programs, reflecting a growing global recognition of remote work as a driver of economic and talent mobility.
