The Philippines will introduce a digital nomad visa, targeting the remote worker market to stimulate economic recovery in tourism. After the pandemic severely impacted international arrivals, the government seeks to attract longer-staying visitors who contribute more financially. The 2023 Global Digital Nomad study shows digital nomads adding $787 billion to the global economy. The new visa will permit remote work for up to a year, requiring applicants to prove financial stability and health insurance, while prohibiting local employment to protect domestic jobs.
The Philippines is set to unveil a digital nomad visa aimed at attracting remote workers, offering a pathway for long-term stays and economic contribution.
By shifting focus to remote workers, the government aims to tap into the growing digital nomad trend, which could significantly enhance tourism revenues.
