Submitted digital nomad DTV application in Tokyo.
Was called in for an interview.
Went for interview and was asked for further documentation. I sent the docs over.
Was then issued a 6 month tourist visa by email for some reason. No explanation given.
Question for the group: does having this tourist visa now preclude me from immediately re-applying for a DTV using one of the other accepted categories? Obviously I will not be applying in Japan again.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user submitted a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) application in Tokyo, was interviewed, but unexpectedly received a 6-month tourist visa instead. They are concerned about whether this tourist visa prevents them from reapplying for a DTV under a different category. Various commenters shared experiences of others in similar situations, suggesting that it is possible to apply for a DTV at a different location once the tourist visa expires. They noted that holding two visas simultaneously is not allowed and that each case may vary based on the location and visa type.
