This Asian Country Just Launched a Special Digital Nomad Visa-and It's Famous for Its Beaches

""Allowing digital nomads the opportunity to stay longer in the country will spur tourism activities and increase visitor spending," tourism secretary Christina Frasco said in a statement obtained by Travel + Leisure."

"The visa is available for workers who can show that they make sufficient income to support themselves, have appropriate health insurance, and have no criminal record."

The Philippines is introducing a digital nomad visa, allowing remote workers to live in the country for a year with renewal options. The visa aims to attract individuals who can prove sufficient income, health insurance, and a clean criminal record. It is restricted to those employed by non-local companies.

This initiative reflects a broader trend to accommodate the growing remote work culture.
