The Philippines has introduced a digital nomad visa scheme aimed at boosting tourism and engaging foreign income, signed into law by President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr. This initiative allows foreign nationals to stay in the country for up to two years to conduct remote work. However, analysts warn that without strict enforcement, the program risks being misused by individuals associated with previously banned offshore gaming operations, potentially undermining its objectives of promoting legitimate economic growth and tourism.
Critics emphasize that without stringent regulations, the new visa scheme might attract individuals linked to banned offshore gaming, compromising the program's integrity.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr stated that the digital nomad visa program aims to enhance tourism and economic activity while establishing a legal framework for remote workers.
