Starting a business remotely is possible thanks to e-Residence. Following the success of the Estonian e-Residency program, Japan like many other nations is planning to create its own programs.
What does an e-Residency program mean?
e-Residency programs provide a digital identity that can be used to create and operate an online business. On December 1, 2014, Estonia became the first country to do so. E-residents of this program receive a smart card allowing them to access services that are not available to non-residents.
e-Residence is a great choice for freelancers, consultants, digital nomads, and freelancers who provide services regardless of location.
Who benefits from virtual residency programs?
The true benefits of e-residency in Japan will not be known until the program is fully operational. However, starting an online business in Japan without having to live there would be a great opportunity.
In the context of globalization, the fact of creating an international company is a considerable advantage.
For Digital Nomads
Digital nomads can start a business anywhere in the world and work from anywhere thanks to e-Residence. All visa and residency restrictions and issues disappear. Thanks to e-Residence, even if you travel to Europe or the United States, you will be able to manage your Japanese online business.
For Freelancers
The status of a freelancer is attractive, but it comes with heavy administrative tasks. Thanks to e-Residence, you have a virtual world where you have everything and you can solve everything.
