""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. Unlike its Asian counterparts, the Philippines offers a lower cost of living and a favorable language environment, which may boost its tourism sector post-pandemic. This initiative reflects a broader trend to accommodate the growing remote work culture.
