Japan expects 40 million tourists in 2025.
Long term expats (aka digital nomads) are making serious money in Japan.
Japan.... one of the most unfriendly, xenophobic and anal countries on the planet.
Buh bye tourism if they dare to hassle even 1 retired mug in Thailand. The news spreads fast, just like with Chinese kidnapping. It will all be a misunderstanding.
I wouldn't listen to any loser here advising to file unless you have a work permit or rent out a property.
