"Everybody's dreaming about being a digital nomad these days, especially since so many of us got a taste for remote working during and after the pandemic. While there are certain spots that are more popular for those dreaming of a change of scenery - Bali, anyone? - more and more countries have been launching their own digital nomad visas , giving remote workers far more options than were available just a few years ago."
"You must be over 18 and earn at least USD 2000 (around £1470) per month. You can bring up to two children, but for each additional child, you'll need to earn USD 500 (around £358) more per month. You must also work exclusively for clients outside Sri Lanka. You can live and work there, but you cannot take work from any company or client within the country."
"You'll have to pay USD 500 (around £368) a year for each person moving there. That means you'll have to pay separate fees for you, your spouse, and every dependent you bring with you. Apart from legal residence in Sri Lanka for up to 12 months, you can open and maintain bank accounts in the country, enrol your children in international or private schools, and participate in tourism-related events organised by the government or private companies."
Sri Lanka launched a digital nomad visa allowing remote workers legal residence for up to 12 months. Applicants must be over 18 and earn at least USD 2,000 per month, with an extra USD 500 required for each dependent beyond two children. Visa holders must work exclusively for clients outside Sri Lanka and cannot accept local employment. The visa costs USD 500 per person per year. Benefits include opening and maintaining local bank accounts, enrolling children in international or private schools, and participation in tourism-related events. Holders must comply with tax obligations and avoid political or disruptive activities, and must notify immigration within 30 days of specified changes.
