Thanks. Hence, I apply for the nomad visa, get the driving licence and then call it a day? And if I want the my number card, I need to get the talent visa?
If you already have a JP driving license, you can renew it on a tourist visa.
If you don't have one, but want it, you can check the immigration page for visa categories, they got lots of them now.
Cultural activities visa is for up to 3 years (dancing, ikebana, karate, etc) -> enough for driving license, if you want to learn Japanese you can get a student visa from some private institute -> enough for driving license, bank account, part time work, mynumber. Nomad visa -> enough for driving license.
But really, why would you want the my number card? I'd strongly suggest to avoid getting one if you can.
If it's for banking: Japanese banking isn't great, and especially bad for SWIFT transfers. Every time I used the most foreigner friendly bank to transfer money to my own account abroad, I got a 15 minutes call where they kept asking me if I am sending the money to North Korea, Iran, or some leather industry (!?!) abroad. EVERY F*CKING TIME. To my own account in the same name! And every transfer cost me 4000 yen then, plus 2% FX. All other banks charged 8000 yen btw, and that was when 1$ was around 86 yen.
They sent out the notification cards to apply for the mynumber card to everyone, and almost no one did it for 2 years or so. Then they created a program to lure people in by bribing them with 20,000 yen cashback, and most people went for the money (it was after COVID).
I avoided getting it for 2 years, I used the simple notification paper with the same number on it instead. The mynumber card system is highly insecure and has been knowingly breached already. It contains all your data, bio-metric photo, a RFID chip, and the same number stays with you for your WHOLE LIFE. You are supposed to keep it secret and away from everyone, but you can bet that sometime, somewhere during the time your identity gonna get stolen and sold to some Chinese immigrant. They use a plastic sleeve to hide the number, lol, but everywhere you need to give a copy of it, at your workplace, city hall, bank, everyone knows the number in the end anyway.
Currently, they already link everything to it: all your jobs, your income, all your bank accounts, income and other taxes, your residence address, your health insurance, doctor visits and health records, and is going to be soon even used for public transportation like busses and subway throughout the whole country (They already do it in limited areas since 2021:

Seriously, Japan is famous for getting hacked all the time, just few days ago the huge Resona bank got hacked and breached (they are still offline), and almost every month stuff like that happens, even without hackers they keep loosing data everywhere:
