Japan specifies a number of activities that qualify under their new regime (self-employed workers are included) and extend the offer to 49 countries (nationals) with whom they have double tax treaty agreements.
The sixth month period was decided after many feedback from existing expat nomads who could only stay 90 days a period who said they’d wish for a longer stay and up to 6 months would be comfortable. In effect, the nomad visa is an extended tourist visa as there will be no residency card or certificate issued nor can it be renewed (you will have to leave and apply for a new one). Tax implications may come about however.
