The pandemic has led to the emergence of unique travel trends in an effort for the tourism industry to stay afloat during this uncertain time.
One of the most significant trends from this time has been long-term digital nomad visas that allows remote workers to temporarily reside in a certain country.
The latest country to jump on this trend is Dominica in the Caribbean. The nation’s Work in Nature (WIN) extended-stay visa allows visitors to live in Dominica for up to 18 months.
Individuals and families can apply for the visa, with the country offering a family bundle program that helps children attend school on the island.
Applicants have to have an annual salary of at least $50,000 or have alternative means to support themselves and anyone traveling with them.
The visa costs $800 for individuals and $1,200 for families. After the application is sent off, applicants will receive a response within seven days. If approved, they will have a three-month grace period to relocate to the island.
If the visa program becomes popular, officials say they want to create a WIN Village that features a remote working community with various amenities such as entertainment spaces, coworking offices, accommodations and more.
