"Remote work has changed how many people travel. According to recent data from Skyscanner, there are now 40 million digital nomads worldwide, a figure that has grown rapidly over the past few years as remote work has become more common. Trips that once lasted a few days or a week can now stretch into months, with travelers choosing destinations where they can settle into everyday life while continuing to work online."
"That shift has also created significant confusion. Tourist visas were not designed with remote work in mind, and what is permitted under a standard visitor visa varies widely from country to country. In many places, working remotely while visiting falls into a legal gray area, even when income comes from abroad. In response, some countries now offer visas that allow remote workers, freelancers, and self-employed professionals to stay longer while earning income from abroad."
Remote work has expanded digital nomadism to an estimated 40 million people, enabling trips to extend from days to months while work continues online. Traditional tourist visas were not designed for remote work, and permission to work while visiting varies by country, often creating legal gray areas even when income is earned abroad. Several countries now offer dedicated remote-worker visas that typically allow stays up to 12 months and prohibit local employment. Estonia offers a digital nomad visa for non-EU citizens to live up to 12 months while working for foreign clients, and applicants must show a consistent level of earnings.
