From remote work to digital nomad visas, the pandemic-era has given way to exciting opportunities for knowledge workers.
And it’s not just for freelancers. Companies all over the world, including giants like Spotify, Twitter and Airbnb, have adopted work-from-anywhere policies for their employees.
So how do you become a location-independent professional?
- Check out remote work visas. More than 20 countries now offer specialized digital nomad visas that let foreign nationals live and work remotely within their borders, including Portugal, Norway, Malta, Brazil, Costa Rica, Thailand, and more.
- Look for corporate opportunities. Many organizations partner with locations abroad to offer work hubs. For example, Airbnb’s Live and Work Anywhere program enables workers to choose from 20 destinations. It helps take care of visa requirements, tax policies and long-term-stay accommodations.
- Search flexible work locations. You’ll find coworking spaces and flexible work hubs all over the world, and many provide accommodation onsite too. On the flip side, a growing number of hotel and accommodation brands now offer their own coworking spaces in recognition of the growing trend for work and travel.
- Learn online. Access valuable help and support for your remote work journey through online courses, such as LinkedIn Learning’s ‘Becoming a Digital Nomad’ course. Or access customized support through platforms such as Boundless Life.
