Do you have a remote or flexible job and want to spend some time overseas? If so, then there are several countries that offer visas that will allow you to work from abroad in your current remote role, thereby providing you with a unique opportunity to travel somewhere new and work at the same time.

Cayman Islands

Through its Global Citizen Concierge, the Cayman Islands allows entrepreneurs and business owners to live and work from this island paradise beyond the restrictions of a regular work or tourist visa. By becoming a Global Corporate Citizen, you’ll be able to work remotely from the Cayman Islands while enjoying some unique tax benefits and enjoying the freedom to come and go as you please.

Spain

Through its new digital nomad visa, the Spanish government is allowing travelers to stay and work in Spain on a one-year visa which is renewable for up to five years. If you happen to have a spouse or unmarried partner, fear not, as they can apply for the same visa to come along with you.

Canada

While yet to be launched, the Canadian government is working on a visa that will allow foreign nationals to spend up to six months in Canada while working remotely. What’s more, if you’re able to find a Canada-based job while you’re there, you’ll be able to remain in the country so long as you successfully apply for a work visa.

Gone are the days when a person has to put down roots and settle in one spot. We live in a digital age where many jobs can be done remotely, giving people the opportunity to travel and see the world. Sound like a good fit? Here are 3 tips to set you off on your journey. 

Plan Ahead

We know, there’s something very bohemian about being a digital nomad, but trust us when we tell you to plan ahead. Before you embark on your trip, save as much money as you can. Start saving a year in advance if you can. Cut out your daily coffee from the café on the corner and order out less. Every penny counts.

Choose Your Destination Wisely

The world is vast, with 195 countries to choose from   But it’s a good idea to pick a place where the exchange rate is in your favor. Traveling to a place with a weaker currency than the one you’re earning can make your funds go further. 

Get Onboard with the Off-Season

Peak season is when everyone flocks to a particular place. It could be when the weather is nicest, the time of year when specific animals can be spotted, or just when schools take vacation. Whatever the reason, it makes accommodation, flights, and food super expensive. If possible, rather hit your desired destination in the off-season.

Do you have dreams of sipping sangria and eating tapas while overlooking the Sagrada Familia Basilica? Or maybe you’d prefer to do some flamenco dancing in the streets of Madrid? And don’t forget running with the bulls in Pamplona!

Spain has a plethora of places to see and things to do that you’d be hard-pressed to fit into one vacation. It’s a good thing, then, that the country is planning to launch a digital nomad visa. 

Nomad visas have become increasingly popular, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. With many companies allowing employees to work remotely, people have opted to do their work from more interesting locations.

Several countries, like Italy, Portugal, Mauritius, Costa Rica, Indonesia, and the UAE have approved nomad visas that allow tourists to stay in the country for an extended period of time, as long as they earn above a certain amount each month.

Spain’s law has been deemed the Startup Act and will be open to people who work remotely for non-Spanish companies, have done so for at least a year, and come from outside of the European Economic Area. Applicants will need to earn at least €2,000 per month and need to have an address in Spain to which documents can be sent.

If successful, they will be granted a digital nomad visa that allows them to stay in the country for 12 months, after which they can extend it for up to 5 years and apply for permanent residency. 

Spain is expected to launch its visa scheme in January 2023.

With the rise of remote work, digital nomadism is becoming more popular by the day. This lifestyle allows you to work from anywhere in the world and it all starts with picking the perfect destination.

Cost of Living

You should opt for a destination with a low cost of living—ideally one where you’ll be spending less or not much more than you would if you were living in your home country.

Visa Requirements

Before deciding to stay in a certain country-long term, figure out its visa requirements. Opt for the countries where you can easily get a visa or where you don’t need it at all if you’re sticking around for one to three months.

Internet Reliability

Most digital nomads work online and you’ll have trouble conducting your work in a country where you can’t find a reliable internet connection for cheap.

Local Culture

Digital nomads usually stick around in one country for much longer than other travelers. After a while, you’ll start feeling like a local, and that’s much easier to do if you’re interested in the local culture and there isn’t a huge language barrier.

Fun Experiences

All work and no play is not a good combination for digital nomads. First and foremost, you should opt for a destination that offers a lot of interesting places and fun activities to explore.

Digital nomadism, which refers to people who use technology to work while traveling around, has been on the rise for several years now, but it’s now reaching a very interesting period in its development. After all, COVID-19 has changed everything, so why wouldn’t it have changed digital nomadism?

Now, companies are more open to remote work than ever before. After all, the Coronavirus lockdowns proved that it actually is possible to run your business with your entire workforce working from home. And with many employees unwilling to give up the pleasures of remote work, a large number of companies have created permanent work from home policies. In theory, this is great for digital nomads, who now have more job opportunities than ever.

But another thing that COVID has changed in a less favorable way? Travel. Getting around from country to country is harder than we’ve ever seen it in our lifetimes, with vaccine statuses and green passports and testing and quarantines providing barrier after barrier. So while getting a remote job might be easier, figuring out where to take it is much more complicated.

All things considered, one thing’s for sure: people who are committed to the digital nomad lifestyle will find a way to take advantage of this new wave in remote work, one way or another.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, digital nomadism is a lifestyle that involves working while traveling, using technology to work remotely. Some people become digital nomads because it suits their jobs, but others do so because they want to be able to travel year-round. If you fall in the latter group, you may be wondering what jobs you can do that will work with this lifestyle. Here are some options worth considering.

Designer

Whether you’re a web or graphic designer, your skills are likely to be desirable worldwide and all the time, meaning you should have no problem finding both long-term and short-term freelance clients, as well as even full-time employers who will allow you to work remotely from wherever you choose.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CHFFOlQje7f/

Virtual Assistant

While it’s a fairly new job, virtual assistants pretty much do exactly what assistants have done for centuries: writing e-mails, making calls, scheduling appointments, planning meetings, arranging travel, and so on. The perk of this job is it’s meant to be done virtually, making it perfectly suited to digital nomadism.

Online Language Instructor

For a long time now, people who wanted to work and travel could lean on teaching English as a job option in nearly any country. The good news is the internet age has made this even easier, as foreign language instruction online is growing in popularity.

When you first learn about the digital nomad lifestyle, it probably sounds like a dream. Are there really people who get to travel the world and work and earn money along the way? There are many of them, and they do many different kinds of jobs. Here are a few things about this lifestyle nobody tells you upfront.

It Can Be Very Hard

If your idea of a digital nomad life is to travel, take photos, post them on Instagram, and magically earn money from that, we have to tell you that the reality is typically more difficult. There are so many people trying this exact thing, and the number of those who succeed is terribly low. A digital nomad lifestyle requires you to do the actual work, spend hours every day on your laptop or phone, and that can get frustrating when you’d rather explore a new area instead.

Как вы там? Уже прошли тысячу курсов, научились играть на волынке и сели на шпагат? Или, как и я – наряжаете кота в костюм гуся? 😜 ⠀ С началом самоизоляции в моей жизни ничего не поменялось. Я так же просыпаюсь не по будильнику, завтракаю и сажусь за работу. Гуляю с собакой один раз в день. Пару раз в неделю закупаюсь продуктами на соседнем рынке. На выходных езжу на дачу. Разве что муж теперь постоянно дома 🙄 ⠀ Выходит, что карантин – это "пробник" удалённой работы. Если вы сомневались, стоит ли уходить во фриланс, то вот и шанс это проверить. Можете сидеть дома и не сходить с ума? Получается четко разделять свободное и рабочее время? А балансировать между дисциплиной и отдыхом? И, главное, делать это каждый день? Мой муж, например, уже в первые дни начал бегать по потолку и проситься на дачу 🤯 ⠀ А мне норм 🤓 Выбор в пользу фриланса я сделала ещё 10 лет назад и ни разу не пожалела. Одна мысль о раннем подъеме и дороге на работу вызывает у меня микро-истерику 🥴 ⠀ Расскажите, как проходит ваш “карантин”? Какие курсы прошли? Узнали о себе что-то новое? 😉 ⠀ #stayhome #фриланс

What You Can Do

There are so many options for remote work, and we’re just starting to be aware of them all. Chances are, if you’re thinking about adopting this type of life—you already have a job that could be done remotely, so consider starting from there. Make sure your boss trusts you, and be confident about doing the world independently before making the leap.

In this technological age, Millennials are drawn to following inspiring people on Instagram or Snapchat. Sometimes it’s nice to scroll through people’s adventures to gain a sense of perspective and even some travel tips. Living the nomad life takes a lot of guts and it isn’t easy – these influencers have proved that hard work takes patience and a strong vision.

Julien from nomadicjulien

Julien is a digital nomad hailing from Canada. He also makes YouTube videos on top of his Instagram posts. He visits unique places around the world, such as Transylvania and Qatar, with a limited amount of belongings. His lifestyle is truly an inspiration for digital nomads everywhere.

Prerna & Harsh from wandershub

This Indian power duo is traveling the world together and making a bang on social media with their pictures. They also have a YouTube channel that encourages their followers to be fearless and take risks. They seem like a lovely couple with big dreams, and they’re truly living the life with their stories on social media. Way to go guys!

Nik Lashley from trulynomad

Nik doesn’t spend too much time on Instagram posting about her life, so you won’t be seeing where she is on a regular basis. It might be because she’s busy writing books and traveling between the UK and the Caribbean. She recently published a book for digital nomads who aim to live in the Caribbean. She’s the perfect exemplification of an empowered and independent woman.

With the rise of remote work, digital nomadism is becoming more popular by the day. This lifestyle allows you to work from anywhere in the world and it all starts with picking the perfect destination.

Cost of Living

You should opt for a destination with a low cost of living—ideally one where you’ll be spending less or not much more than you would if you were living in your home country.

Visa Requirements

Before deciding to stay in a certain country-long term, figure out its visa requirements. Opt for the countries where you can easily get a visa or where you don’t need it at all if you’re sticking around for one to three months.

Internet Reliability

Most digital nomads work online and you’ll have trouble conducting your work in a country where you can’t find a reliable internet connection for cheap.

Local Culture

Digital nomads usually stick around in one country for much longer than other travelers. After a while, you’ll start feeling like a local, and that’s much easier to do if you’re interested in the local culture and there isn’t a huge language barrier.

Fun Experiences

All work and no play is not a good combination for digital nomads. First and foremost, you should opt for a destination that offers a lot of interesting places and fun activities to explore.

Digital nomadism, which refers to people who use technology to work while traveling around, has been on the rise for several years now, but it’s now reaching a very interesting period in its development. After all, COVID-19 has changed everything, so why wouldn’t it have changed digital nomadism?

Now, companies are more open to remote work than ever before. After all, the Coronavirus lockdowns proved that it actually is possible to run your business with your entire workforce working from home. And with many employees unwilling to give up the pleasures of remote work, a large number of companies have created permanent work from home policies. In theory, this is great for digital nomads, who now have more job opportunities than ever.

But another thing that COVID has changed in a less favorable way? Travel. Getting around from country to country is harder than we’ve ever seen it in our lifetimes, with vaccine statuses and green passports and testing and quarantines providing barrier after barrier. So while getting a remote job might be easier, figuring out where to take it is much more complicated.

All things considered, one thing’s for sure: people who are committed to the digital nomad lifestyle will find a way to take advantage of this new wave in remote work, one way or another.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, digital nomadism is a lifestyle that involves working while traveling, using technology to work remotely. Some people become digital nomads because it suits their jobs, but others do so because they want to be able to travel year-round. If you fall in the latter group, you may be wondering what jobs you can do that will work with this lifestyle. Here are some options worth considering.

Designer

Whether you’re a web or graphic designer, your skills are likely to be desirable worldwide and all the time, meaning you should have no problem finding both long-term and short-term freelance clients, as well as even full-time employers who will allow you to work remotely from wherever you choose.

Virtual Assistant

While it’s a fairly new job, virtual assistants pretty much do exactly what assistants have done for centuries: writing e-mails, making calls, scheduling appointments, planning meetings, arranging travel, and so on. The perk of this job is it’s meant to be done virtually, making it perfectly suited to digital nomadism.

Online Language Instructor

For a long time now, people who wanted to work and travel could lean on teaching English as a job option in nearly any country. The good news is the internet age has made this even easier, as foreign language instruction online is growing in popularity.

When you first learn about the digital nomad lifestyle, it probably sounds like a dream. Are there really people who get to travel the world and work and earn money along the way? There are many of them, and they do many different kinds of jobs. Here are a few things about this lifestyle nobody tells you upfront.

It Can Be Very Hard

If your idea of a digital nomad life is to travel, take photos, post them on Instagram, and magically earn money from that, we have to tell you that the reality is typically more difficult. There are so many people trying this exact thing, and the number of those who succeed is terribly low. A digital nomad lifestyle requires you to do the actual work, spend hours every day on your laptop or phone, and that can get frustrating when you’d rather explore a new area instead.

Как вы там? Уже прошли тысячу курсов, научились играть на волынке и сели на шпагат? Или, как и я – наряжаете кота в костюм гуся? 😜 ⠀ С началом самоизоляции в моей жизни ничего не поменялось. Я так же просыпаюсь не по будильнику, завтракаю и сажусь за работу. Гуляю с собакой один раз в день. Пару раз в неделю закупаюсь продуктами на соседнем рынке. На выходных езжу на дачу. Разве что муж теперь постоянно дома 🙄 ⠀ Выходит, что карантин – это "пробник" удалённой работы. Если вы сомневались, стоит ли уходить во фриланс, то вот и шанс это проверить. Можете сидеть дома и не сходить с ума? Получается четко разделять свободное и рабочее время? А балансировать между дисциплиной и отдыхом? И, главное, делать это каждый день? Мой муж, например, уже в первые дни начал бегать по потолку и проситься на дачу 🤯 ⠀ А мне норм 🤓 Выбор в пользу фриланса я сделала ещё 10 лет назад и ни разу не пожалела. Одна мысль о раннем подъеме и дороге на работу вызывает у меня микро-истерику 🥴 ⠀ Расскажите, как проходит ваш “карантин”? Какие курсы прошли? Узнали о себе что-то новое? 😉 ⠀ #stayhome #фриланс

What You Can Do

There are so many options for remote work, and we’re just starting to be aware of them all. Chances are, if you’re thinking about adopting this type of life—you already have a job that could be done remotely, so consider starting from there. Make sure your boss trusts you, and be confident about doing the world independently before making the leap.

In this technological age, Millennials are drawn to following inspiring people on Instagram or Snapchat. Sometimes it’s nice to scroll through people’s adventures to gain a sense of perspective and even some travel tips. Living the nomad life takes a lot of guts and it isn’t easy – these influencers have proved that hard work takes patience and a strong vision.

Julien from nomadicjulien

Julien is a digital nomad hailing from Canada. He also makes YouTube videos on top of his Instagram posts. He visits unique places around the world, such as Transylvania and Qatar, with a limited amount of belongings. His lifestyle is truly an inspiration for digital nomads everywhere.

Prerna & Harsh from wandershub

This Indian power duo is traveling the world together and making a bang on social media with their pictures. They also have a YouTube channel that encourages their followers to be fearless and take risks. They seem like a lovely couple with big dreams, and they’re truly living the life with their stories on social media. Way to go guys!

Nik Lashley from trulynomad

Nik doesn’t spend too much time on Instagram posting about her life, so you won’t be seeing where she is on a regular basis. It might be because she’s busy writing books and traveling between the UK and the Caribbean. She recently published a book for digital nomads who aim to live in the Caribbean. She’s the perfect exemplification of an empowered and independent woman.
