Today's global world, with the opportunities offered by the Internet, has changed the way we think about what a workplace can be. Moreover, almost 70 countries have decided to take advantage of the benefits of having remote workers from other countries in their economies and have introduced digital nomad visas.
Such a visa allows you to legally live and work in a chosen location for a long time, enjoying the beauty of the sea, mountains, or an exotic city. However, experts advise choosing a destination carefully, as digital nomads have to use services such as healthcare, insurance, long-term rental housing, etc. It is important to consider their availability and cost. As well as the level of protection of expatriate rights. That's why USA Today has compiled a list of 10 countries that offer the best conditions for remote workers.
Taiwan
The estimated life expectancy in this country is 81 years, one of the highest in the world, which means that healthcare is very good here. The local population values physical activity, so digital nomads will also have access to these opportunities. Taiwan also has a moderate overall cost of living, which can reduce stress. Expats also have many opportunities to form communities here.
Norway
Norway's universal healthcare system includes mental health services, prescription drugs, and medical transportation. Patients have to pay a nominal amount for their treatment, and out-of-pocket expenses are limited to about $300 per year. Although the weather can be quite cold for most of the year, Norway boasts beautiful landscapes that are ideal for outdoor activities throughout the year.
Iceland
Iceland is famous for its stunning landscapes, abundant outdoor activities, and excellent healthcare system. However, the high cost of living in the country makes the Digital Nomad visa unaffordable for many. If you can pass the rigorous selection process, you will have the opportunity to live in a healthy and hospitable European country.
Germany
Americans praise Germany for its easy access to medical services, and in general, the local medical system is considered one of the simplest in Europe. In Germany, patients can receive almost any type of medical care without much red tape or long waits. In addition, the local cuisine is characterized by high quality products and healthy dishes.
Italy
Italy has a generally slow pace of life and an excellent healthcare system. Digital nomads can enjoy a large selection of fresh fruits and vegetables in the country. In addition, the country offers almost unlimited opportunities for tourism and outdoor activities.
Malta
Malta has one of the most advanced healthcare systems in the world. The country's main hospital, Mater Dei, is one of the largest and most modern medical facilities in Europe. The country's mild, sunny climate is conducive to outdoor activities all year round.
Spain
The country offers a relaxed lifestyle with lower stress levels and a healthy Mediterranean diet. It is also a sunny country with many opportunities for outdoor activities. In terms of healthcare, insurance covers most of the costs. Residents usually pay only a portion of the cost of prescription drugs and contribute a small amount to the cost of specialized care.
Czech Republic
The Czech Republic's universal healthcare system emphasizes preventive care. It offers a good work-life balance and lower living costs, which leads to less stress. The capital city of Prague is very convenient for walking, which contributes to a healthy lifestyle.
Cyprus
Cyprus offers high quality healthcare and an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, encouraging a healthy lifestyle throughout the year. It is easy to work on the beach or in the fresh mountain air, so every digital nomad can find a place that suits them. Healthcare in Cyprus is generally of high quality and affordable.
Costa Rica
From beaches to rainforests, Costa Rica's stunning natural landscapes encourage digital nomads to spend a lot of time outdoors. Many Costa Ricans live a laid-back, "pura vida" lifestyle that promotes well-being and stress reduction. The country also has a fantastic universal healthcare system that emphasizes preventive care.
