I’m hoping to do this eventually, not as a software engineer, but something in business. I just want to try out Japan for a bit and see if it’s for me, but with a remote job to avoid the intense and stressful Japanese work ethic employed by companies over there. I think Japan is a good place to live if you can work remotely or for a company that doesn’t overwork you. Feel like that’s the biggest complaint people have about living in Japan.

Hi Alex, Good day. I am planning to relocate to Japan as my Spouse works there and was looking for videos of people in Japan to get some insight on how to search for jobs in Japan. And this video came as a suggestion. Loved it. I just wanted to drop a comment here to tell you that I love your work! Subscribed to your channel and turned on the bell. I'm excited to watch more videos of your life in Japan! Also, if you mind, can you guide me a bit that what kind of Visa you need to work remotely from Japan. Can I work on Spouse visa for a company based out of India. Thanks.
@alex_remotely
@alex_remotely Год назад
I’m not a visa expert but from my memory, as long as you’re not on a “dependant” visa, you shouldn’t have any issues. I would consult a visa agent though. One thing to keep in mind is tax implications - make sure you research how to pay your taxes in Japan while working remotely, it might be complicated. Unfortunately, I can’t provide any useful info here as I’m employed by the Japanese entity of my company so they handle it for me.
