Been in England and Europe for over half of the past 12 years.
90 days in most countries, 180 in UK.

Now there's a dozen countries offering 12-month "Digital Nomad" Visas.
They want us to replace former Tourists who used to come for 2 weeks.

Amazing video, very inspirational. Once this pandemic is over, I'm thinking about moving to Portugal for a while. They've got a whole town specifically for digital nomads on Madeira, and a 10-year tax break for anyone who works remotely.

20% "holiday tax" is hardly attractive.

Make sure the "Holiday tax" bit is spoken in context of 12-month Digital Nomad Visas.

Great video! This is something I wish I had done in my 20s.

We visited Costa Rica in 2019 and fell in love with the country. Hoping to go back later this year. It's a dream/long term goal to move there in a few years.

Here's what I know, never heard of the holiday tax:
"Portugal issues a temporary resident visa for independent workers and entrepreneurs for a period of up to 5 years and tax breaks for up to 10. The main documents are proof of income from movable or immovable property, or intellectual property, or financial applications. Digital nomads can apply for a D7 visa after proving regular income. The monthly income must be higher than the national minimum wage (600€/month x 14 months). If you have dependent family members, this figure rises and you have to consider +50% for the wife and +30% for each child. Processing fees: 90 euros."

Basically, all you have to do is prove a location-independent ongoing income of over 600 EUR/month.

It's funny that this clearly states "dependent" would specifically be the wife... they could have used "spouse"... oh well.

As digital nomad better set up something in a flexible country so you are able to move to other countries without setting up a new company every time. For many Dutch people it is easier/cheaper to set up a Dutch company than to try something for example with a Estonian Digital Nomad Visa. Only if staying a few years in 1 place it could be interesting. But don't you want to live on a beach in Thailand some months. Or in Buenos Aires. In the end i mostly avoid digital nomads groups. Looks like they miss the office and all gather in a sort of office they than call co-workspace.

People now also can stay on Curacao for 6 months to 1 year as digital nomad. Not now, cause they advice to stay away and go away cause hospitals are full.

I might go to Curacao for some time when travelling keeps being a problem.

Thanks for sharing. I had no clue what it really was to be a digital nomad.

All beautiful places to visit and maybe live eventually (although Louisiana has hot teachers willing to try threesomes so it's not an easy decision :) )

I love those beer holders . . .

i watched half the video and it was pretty cool

So as an American can't you just stay in a place 90 days, move on, do all your banking from an ATM and online? No need to "move" anywhere. Or am I missing something?

Great video! Too bad you are not in NYC we could meet for a drink.

:disgust

for real though, to each their own

I travelled for years and wanted to stop living out of suitcases, moved to Ocho Rios for good and never been happier

but yeah, travel the world and enjoy

That is how it works for most nationalities, depending on your passport. Some countries allow longer like Mexico (6 months) and you can leave few days and come back another 6 months. In Thailand they are now more strict on visa runs the last years. Mexico is one of the easiest countries to stay longer.

Yes we talked about Jamaica. Should have had a beer there in Ocho Rios. I had a nice appartment there on the hill with views at the cruise ships. But i travelled a lot and Jamaica is on the bottom of my list. I prefer Brazil way more than Jamaica. Could also because a tourist trap and i might look like an American tourist.
