This comment will probably get overlooked, but how do you get into the "digital nomad" lifestyle? Basically, what kind of work allows you operate 100% remotely? Thanks.
To those in this thread saying you need an appropriate working visa to work in these countries: Have you ever worked for a company in Country A and been sent on a business trip to Country B? Most likely your company didn't need a Country B working visa for you, just for a business trip. I am not a lawyer, but I don't see how the digital nomad lifestyle is any different. If you're just spending short amounts of time i…
You aren’t a lawyer, and clearly don’t have (much) practical experience as a foreign worker, and yet you still give out legal advice. a) Some countries do require a specific visa even just for a “business meeting”. Often getting that visa will require documentation or an official letter from a company either in your home/resident country or the country you are visiting. b) Some countries do differentiate between a vi…
Ah hate to pull this card, but I've been an expat now for almost 14 years :) worked in Japan and Singapore (legally, with correct working visa etc etc), and just for this last year I've been a nomad flitting from country to country.
You mention "some countries" - sure some are stricter than others, but are any of the countries you're talking about on this list?
It would be insane for a country in Asia (except the ones still developing) to have such requirements. It is entirely routine for folks from companies in (for example) Singapore, to travel regionally for business on an extremely frequent basis.
I normally frown upon making assumptions of people :) but since you assumed I didn't have much practical experience as a foreign worker, I'm going to also assume you haven't done much business in Southeast Asia.

What if you prefer colder climates? Not sure why the city should be penalized for it. High temperatures make me less productive.

Are there any good resources in getting the appropriate visa/permit to work in foreign countries? I just got the go-ahead to work remote and I'm looking into working abroad, but information on remote working and the appropriate visas seem few and far in between. To those that have done it, where do you look/who do you ask when looking for this type of information? Do you just get ahold of someone at the appropriate e…
This is a really broad question, and it depends largely on where you're from, where you want to go, and what you want to do. Can you elaborate? If you just want to have a good time for a while I'd check out whether your country has working holiday visa arrangements with any other countries.
I'm just starting to look into this though, so general tips/resources/strategies for getting the proper permits is always a plus.
As an aside, I'd never heard the term "Working Holiday" before so that in and of itself is a new avenue of approach.
Chiang Mai? You clearly haven't been there! It's nice for a holiday but not for living.
Hi HN! I made this. Here's some info on the data before everyone goes berzerk :) Firstly, it's crowdsourced from this spreadsheet http://nomadlist.io/edit/ so it might not be 100% accurate. Secondly, NomadCost != cost of living. NomadCost is based on short-term staying in a hostel, hotel or apartment in the center, working in a coworking space and having a basic meal three times a day. That's the average digital noma…
> Secondly, NomadCost != cost of living. NomadCost is based on short-term staying in a hostel, hotel or apartment in the center, working in a coworking space and having a basic meal three times a day. That's the average digital nomad's lifestyle. They move around every few months, so they can't rent long-term. So NomadCost will be way more expensive than cost of living for a resident. I suggest you to let the user ex…
tl;dr we all have friends and fam, so chill

Yes, it's a nice city for living but if you're not alone. Don't forget about the troubles about the visas and visa-runs.
