Do you want to work remotely and travel at the same time? Then the digital nomad visa is your option. Check out our material for a list of countries that offer such visas and conditions for obtaining them.

Visas are now experiencing a boom of popularity — more and more countries are offering the opportunity to officially relocate and work remotely. Of course, this trend was greatly spurred on by the pandemic, as it was during this period that the lion’s share of people switched to a remote work format.
