After the launch of Italy's digital nomad visa in April 2024, searches for similar visas increased dramatically by 1,135%, indicating a historic peak in interest from remote workers. Over 50 countries now offer these visas, appealing to those seeking to work abroad while traveling. Jason Wilson, CEO of Places To Travel, emphasizes the growing trend and highlights eligibility criteria, which can include income thresholds and job type restrictions. Understanding each country's specific requirements is crucial for aspiring digital nomads.
Digital nomad visas are still a relatively new way of legally working in another country for an extended period of time - with the first only having launched around four years ago, in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic which forced many companies to shift to remote working practices.
Each country offering the program has their own specified eligibility requirements - often relating to the applicant's salary, career, and education history. However, for those who meet the criteria, the experience can be life-changing.
