Nice site! However it did take me quite a long time to realize I could scroll down on the landing page to see more options. Perhaps you can add something to make that clearer.

Also, and this might just be me, I need a "Skiing" filter much more than I need a "Warm" filter.

I get that everyone should follow the law, but how would they ever distinguish you from a tourist unless you blogged about it?

I've heard of people in Indonesia(Bali) getting caught because they post in public Facebook groups about the work they do, like "Hey guys I'm a yoga instructor/web designer/surf teacher/English teacher and I'm available for hire!"

Thanks! Oh, that explains some of the comments... i didn't realise that myself. So great feedback! Will add the skiing filter in the future :)

Does anyone know a good site where I can compare tax rates for freelancers - using a single person business what's my net take home at what income ? Would people be willing in contributing this info for their country if I made a calculator for this on GH pages ?

For US citizens, be really careful with freelancing overseas. You will probably need to file US self-employment tax statements quarterly, and face some scary penalties if you forget.

Thank you! Yes, it has been quite a ride learning it. Backend is Django (i am familiar with Python). Frontend is Nuxt (total noob in JS).

I've done django. Can't say I've done nuxt, though I have done vue before. I think your design skills are great! I've always been a backend guy and that's the part I've found really hard.

Thank you! Sounds good! Well nuxt is a vue famework and yeah, vue is amazing. I use vuetify which makes it easy to "design" the frontend. You should check that out.

Why are tourist visas shown for people who want to work in another country?

Some tourist visas allow you to stay quite long in a country. Of course it's illegal to work in a foreign country on a tourist visa. I added a note in the bottom of the filter section on remote work with a tourist visa. Maybe make in more prominent? The issue is also mentioned in the FAQs.

My initial suggestion would be to at least list it below work visas - it caught me off guard to see it at the top on a website about working :)

I really like the site design, by the way! Did you use anything to achieve the consistent look?

Hey HN! Over the past few months I've been coding my first side project (Nuxt Frontend, Django Backend). It's been quite a learning experience tumbling down the rabbit hole of web development, as a data scientist. Nomad Visa is a database of tourist visas and visas suitable for digital nomads, remote workers, founders and expats. More and more countries issue special visas for digital nomads to stay in their country…

Instead of me choosing the country first, why not ask me about the passport I hold and then show all the countries that have visas that allow me to work remotely? I tried a few places and I only got Tourist Visa as available visa - gave up after a while.

As mentioned in another comment, you can also scroll down on the landingpage and explore other visa types.
