In 2023, approximately 17.3 million Americans identified themselves as digital nomads, as revealed by a survey conducted by MBO Partners. If you’re interested in embracing the lifestyle of working and living from various locations, Omio, a travel booking website, has some recommendations for you.
Omio has recently published research disclosing the most affordable locations for Americans to work from overseas. This determination was made following a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including the cost of living index, rent index, safety index, mobility, internet speeds, and visa costs in different countries. The data was sourced from numbeo.com, Investopedia, Speedtest.net, among other reliable sources. After a thorough examination, the research team determined that Colombia is, indeed, the most economical destination for American digital nomads to work from abroad.
Colombia clinched the top position due to its abundance of coworking spaces, high-speed internet, low living costs, and the availability of a digital nomad visa. It’s important to note that obtaining this visa, which permits a stay of up to 24 months, comes at a price of over $600. Furthermore, those seeking a digital nomad visa for Colombia must demonstrate a consistent income of “at least 3 legal minimum wages during the last 3 months,” as per Colombia’s tourism office. (It’s crucial to understand that the digital nomad visa differs from a work visa; it doesn’t authorize work within Colombia but rather requires an income source from outside the country.)
Another compelling reason to contemplate a temporary stay in Colombia is its undeniable coolness. This sentiment isn’t ours alone. In Time Out’s 2023 Coolest Neighborhoods survey, Laureles, a neighborhood nestled in the heart of Medellin, was crowned the “coolest neighborhood on Earth” by the publication’s readers. Time Out described it as a laid-back yet quintessentially Colombian area in this vibrant city, renowned for its nightlife, exceptional parks, coffee culture, and yoga studios, making it a highly sought-after destination.
Regarding the top 10 destinations for digital nomads, Omio ranked Sri Lanka in second place, followed by Turkey, Bali, Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia, Ecuador, Vietnam, and Namibia. Of course, as a digital nomad, you have the flexibility to explore multiple destinations, so why not consider spending a few months in each of these captivating places?
