Due to the covid-19 pandemic people who were used to plan a trip to new countries only once or twice because of their limited holidays are getting an always-imagined work style. After the Work from Home period, many sought after the ‘workationing’ idea that is catching attention among those who always felt constrained to fulfil their adventurous dreams of exploring new lands. The traditional concept of static and walled office is losing its hold.   

A Digital Nomad Visa is a post-Covid traveling strategy offered by more than 40 countries. More countries are defining and designing their own policies under the Digital Nomad Association. By getting a Digital Nomad Visa you can live in a country for a specific period of time (as allowed by the specific country), all the while working during this stay. The idea is welcomed by many individuals but most companies are reluctant to adopt it due to the sun and sea possibility being a work distraction.

If you love to interact with new people on a regular basis, always ready to embrace the unknown then a Digital Nomad Visa is definitely your cup of tea. You can make new friends and memories and all the same time excel in work circle while enjoying a stunning sunset in Costa Rica. You also might feel happy and more productive on saving your commute time and instead spending it sunbathing.

Nomad visa that is called differently in different countries as White Card in Hungary, Nomad Digital Residence (NDR) in Antigua or Zinvo in Czech Republic is not a promising promise to every travel lover. It comes with its own limitations and constraints. Each government has its own policy and you might need to consult an immigration officer to decide to move your desk in a new country. Mostly, this visa is offered on good price and only to those who are self-employed or have a business project in the selected country and ready to pay tax as per the requirement of that country.  Difference in time zones, searching for a suitable option to reside in, getting accustomed to new food, language and people can become a problem to deal with. It seems, at this moment, Digital Nomad Visa is not available and also is not suitable for all who think they can manage an office on a go.
