# Digital Nomads: A Comprehensive Report for Remote Workers

## Introduction

The digital nomad lifestyle has emerged as a significant post-pandemic trend, particularly appealing to younger generations seeking flexibility and adventure in their professional lives.

This report explores what digital nomadism entails, which countries support it through specialized visas, the advantages and challenges it presents, suitable types of work, and commonly used tools.

## What is the Digital Nomad Lifestyle?

Digital nomads are remote workers who leverage technology to perform their jobs from anywhere in the world, often traveling between different countries while maintaining their professional responsibilities.

This lifestyle combines work with travel, allowing individuals to experience different cultures and environments while earning a living through online work.

The concept has gained substantial momentum since the COVID-19 pandemic, which normalized remote work for many professionals.

As companies worldwide adopted flexible work arrangements, more employees gained the freedom to work from international locations, creating a growing market for services catering to this demographic.

Declining Remote Work Trend: Productivity Concerns Drive Companies to Reinforce In-Office Policies

Once a beacon of hope for work-life balance, the surge of remote work during the pandemic is witnessing a reversal. According to a study from Indeed, there has been a decline in remote job postings, especially in metropolitan areas where job roles are conducive to remote work. The increase in the preference for in-office work among companies is attributed to productivity concerns, despite the lack of clear applicability of these studies on the broader workforce.

Remote Work – The Pandemic Era Norm

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, from 2019 to 2021, the number of people working primarily from home tripled, making remote work a widely accepted norm during the pandemic. Stanford University’s professor of economics, Nicholas Bloom, who was initially skeptical about remote work, admitted that it proved to be effective during the pandemic.

The Shift Back to Office

With pandemic restrictions easing, some companies have made a U-turn from their earlier remote work policies. In some cases, companies have even threatened to terminate employees who do not comply with mandated office days. A notable critic of the remote work culture is Elon Musk, who, during an interview with CNBC in May 2023, labeled remote work as ‘morally wrong’. He argued it to be a double standard for workers to assume they shouldn’t have to go into work while others do.

Implications of the Shift

The shift in corporate America’s approach to remote work has far-reaching implications for remote workers and the U.S. job market. New data indicates that remote workers receive fewer advancement opportunities compared to their in-person colleagues, seeing promotions 31% less frequently. The shift to in-office work by companies like Meta and Google has also impacted remote workers, especially regarding mentorship and feedback. A report from Gallup highlighted that 60% of U.S. workers who have been working remotely would prefer to continue this way as much as possible.

The Advent of Tethered Nomads

As companies struggle to restore pre-pandemic operations, a new category of workers, dubbed ‘Tethered Nomads’, has emerged. These are independent workers, freelancers, self-employed individuals, and contractors who have embraced the remote work trend. There has been a 14% increase in their ranks as digital nomads since the previous year. However, the declining labor demand in December, as reported by the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and Lightcast Labour Market Tracker, may reflect a broader trend influenced by the evolving nature of work and economic conditions.

Content: Top 10 cities in Vietnam are among the most popular among nomads! The top 10 cities are catching up with Tokyo
International Center Lai Cheng-lin / General Report
In the wake of the pandemic, digital nomad has become the latest form of work, and many people who can “work remotely ” have begun to travel to other countries around the world, taking vacations and working with their computers.
In a survey of digital nomads, three cities in Vietnam are among the top 10 most visited places in the world for digital nomads: Da Nang, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
This is an advertisement, please continue reading.
According to Nomad List, the world ’ s largest database of remote workers, Da Nang, a coastal city in central Vietnam, ranks second behind Tokyo, Japan, with a 109% increase in the digital nomadic population in 2023; Hanoi ranks seventh with a 58% growth rate; and Ho Chi Minh City ranks ninth with a 55% growth rate.
Most Vietnamese cities have excellent wireless access, low cost of living, and beautiful scenery, making them the latest darling of digital nomadic workers around the world.
Of these three cities in Vietnam, Da Nang is considered the third largest city in Vietnam after Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with free Wi-Fi in the city center, fast internet speeds and beautiful coastline.
An important factor for digital nomads considering a temporary city is the living environment, as well as the cost of living to meet the convenient and comfortable working environment, while the cost of living in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is quite low.
The average cost of living for a number of nomads in Hanoi is US $1,289 per month (about NT $38,000) and in Ho Chi Minh City US $1,157 per month (about NT $34,000).
Other places on the list are Seoul, South Korea, in third place; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in fourth place; Penang, Malaysia, in fifth place; Montevideo, Uruguay, in sixth place; Manila, Philippines, in eighth place; and Lubjana, Slovenia, in tenth place.
To compile the list, experts at Nomad List ranked the fastest-growing cities for remote workers by analyzing nearly 300,000 registrations in the database over the past two years.
Vietnam, with three cities on the list, does not offer a “digital nomad visa ”, but it offers global travelers from nearly 200 countries the ability to easily apply online for e-visas for up to 90 days, and in Southeast Asia only Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia offer special digital nomad visa programs for foreigners to work remotely if they meet certain requirements.

With the news that Spain will be introducing a digital nomad visa and tax incentives for startups, several places in Spain are already trying to attract remote workers. Here are some of the villages that want remote workers and what they offer.

The rise of remote working means that many jobs can be done from anywhere that has an internet connection, and Spanish regions that have struggled with depopulation due to a lack of job opportunities are seizing upon this trend.

A total of 30 towns and villages across Spain have joined the association of Red Nacional de Pueblos Acogedores or the National Network of Welcoming Villages, aiming to attract digital nomads (people who travel while continuing to work remotely) and remote workers (who settle full time in one place and work remotely for a company or companies in another town or even another country) to their communities.

These towns and villages are spread throughout the regions of Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha, La Rioja, Aragón, Andalusia, Navarra and the Basque Country.

Among other services, most of them offer coworking spaces and high-speed internet.

Life after COVID-19: Which countries ignore the telecommuting approach and why?
Conversation
By: Euronews
Many companies have come to see remote work as an effective method, turning many of their jobs into fully or partially remote jobs.
Copyright by AP Photo
Two and a half years ago, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting health crisis escalating, the business world took a new direction dictated by stringent health measures: teleworking.
But as life has almost completely normalized and precautionary measures have been lifted, the question of telecommuting has become urgent: Do companies keep the telecommuting approach or return their employees to their offices?
Many companies have come to see remote work as an effective method, turning many of their jobs into fully or partially remote jobs.
According to a recent study from Indeed, global job listings featuring remote jobs have risen since the start of the epidemic, nearly tripling from just 2.5 percent in January 2020 to nearly 7.5 percent in September 2021.
Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom were some of the countries with the largest increases, and the United States followed a similar trend.
The proportion of remote jobs has jumped from less than 4% of all high-paying jobs before the epidemic to about 9% at the end of 2020, and to more than 15% today in North America.
Data scientists at the job site Ladders believe that remote work will survive.
Despite these figures and data showing a large adoption of telework and hybrid work in many parts of the world, it seems that some countries did not like the idea and did not adapt to it, for cultural, legal or technical reasons.
Czech Republic: A legal crisis
The Czech Republic has not adopted the idea of working remotely despite its technological development, which is no less than that of its European peers.
The reason is simply legal, as the law does not specify whether a teleworker is a regular employee or not, so companies prefer to avoid working remotely due to legal uncertainty.
According to a survey conducted by Ipsos, 51% of Czech employees surveyed were interested in permanent remote work, and 59% were partially interested in remote work.
France: Lagging behind
France is not doing well in terms of remote work.
According to a study conducted jointly with Ifop and the Jean Juris Foundation, only 34% of French people worked remotely regularly during the epidemic, compared with 61% in Germany, 56% in Italy and 50% in Britain.
The amount of time the French worked remotely was also lower than their European neighbors: 11% worked from home four to five days a week, compared to 30% of Italians.
These low numbers can be explained by the extreme disparity between senior management – where the majority of those can work remotely – and other professional social groups, who largely continue to go to their workplaces.
Age has also been another reason for these disparities: older workers are less comfortable with digital technology than the new generation.
The French are known for their reluctance to change, so the situation may not change anytime soon.
A culture of “presence ” — being in the office despite illness — is still firmly rooted in the minds of the older generation.
When asked if they wanted fewer or more remote working days, French respondents said they wanted fewer remote working days, compared to their European neighbors.
Japan: A Strong Culture of "Presence"
Japan, just like France, is another country where a culture of “presence ” is rooted.
Many Japanese fear job stagnation if they don ’ t work long hours in the office, and forcing these workers to resort to remote work due to the health crisis has turned out to be a disaster.
While most employees say working from home has made them more efficient than they were in the office, Japanese employees are 20 percent less productive, according to a 2020 study by economist Toshihiro Okubo.
Japan also has a high social work structure, which makes it difficult to work remotely: employees prefer to work in teams and conduct evaluations collectively, while in the case of remote work, employees are assigned individual responsibilities and evaluated individually.
Mentoring and dialogue are core values of the Japanese work system, with senior employees supervising their younger colleagues, and informal conversations between employees foster communication within teams, which is not available in remote work.
Another reason why the Japanese telecommuting approach is not preferred is the lack of access to personal computers for many employees; in Japan one of the lowest rates of access to personal computers according to the OECD.
In addition, home offices are much less common than in the West, due to the small average size of apartments in cities and the high prices of large houses.
China: a difficult transition
Although China was the first country to resort to telecommuting because it was the first country to deal with the coronavirus, the transition was relatively difficult for the Chinese workforce.
At the start of the epidemic, 40 percent of Chinese workers were forced to work from home, an unexpected cultural shift in a country deeply attached to a culture of presence and hierarchy, according to consulting firm Bloomberg.
Once the state started shutdowns, the use of digital technologies — including artificial intelligence, location tracking, facial recognition, and so on — increased to contain the spread of the outbreak.
Some companies began to tighten their grip on their employees even as they worked remotely, recording their attendance daily with their managers and announcing their locations and whether they showed any symptoms of the virus.
Chinese communist history and culture may also explain the country ’ s difficulty in embracing telework, where employees have to negotiate agreements collectively.
Developing Countries: Weakness of the Internet
The epidemic has highlighted the technological disparity between nations of the world and highlighted it as an obstacle to a successful transition to telecommuting.
Not surprisingly, developing countries are the most vulnerable, but many have taken positions that go against their Internet resilience.
For example, Mexico and Brazil were more resilient than Indonesia or India, according to economic consultants Bhaskar Chakravorti and Ravi Shankar Chaturvedi.
Angola has also emerged as the world ’ s least telecommuting country, with just 0.70 out of every 100 people in the country having fixed-line broadband access in 2020, compared to 36.41 in the United States, according to the World Bank.

Content: Would you like to spend a month in Taipei and live all over the world? Selina, a travel subscription hotel where you can work while playing
Photo Credit: Selina
What we want you to know is
Chasing the waves, sniffing the business opportunities, two Israeli veterans create a hotel designed for remote workers, targeting millennials and Gen Z, while catching the subscription trend, even hotels can "let you stay full."
Text: Crystal (Innovative Latte)
When it comes to travel, different groups have different needs.
Therefore, from tour groups to hotels, attractions, there are specific segments of the audience.
There are honeymooners, relatives, silver-haired people, medical and beauty people, etc. Today, tourism companies are targeting a group of newcomers: remote workers.
Remote workers, also known as “Digital Nomads ”, are a group of people who can work remotely from anywhere in the world.
They can travel all over the world while working online.
The number of people working remotely has increased dramatically since COVID-19 swept the world, and many of these companies allow employees to travel internationally while working.
Tourism operators have sensed this opportunity and have begun to provide exclusive accommodation and travel services for remote workers.
But as early as 2014, when remote work was not so popular, two retired Israeli soldiers, Rafael Museri and Danielle Rudasevski, had already observed this niche demand.
They crossed the ocean and opened Selina, the first hotel for remote workers in the Central American country of Panama. Ten years later, Selina not only survived COVID-19, which hit the tourism industry hard, but also has 163 hotels in 23 countries around the world, making it a “travel subscription ”.
How did they go from military to a new generation of tourism stars?
The story begins in 2004 when two young Israelis met.
Innovation: A subscription-based hotel integrated into a co-working space that allows travelers to travel and work
Chasing the waves, sniffing the business opportunities
In 2004, Daniel Rudasevski, who retired from the Israeli army, came to Costa Rica, also a Central American country, because of his love of surfing.
Through the introduction of friends, he met Rafael Museri, also an Israeli, who also retired from the Israeli army.
They saw Costa Rica ’ s development opportunities and returned to Israel to raise investment from friends and family, develop real estate and earn their first pot of gold.
But Costa Rica ’ s saturated market allows them to look for their next potential market.
From other surfers, Daniel and Rafael hear about Panama, the Central American nation, and its beautiful coastline along the Caribbean Sea.
Based on the passion of surfers, or the precision of business intuition, after visiting Panama several times, they fell in love with the beautiful beach and the simple town of Pedasi, a four-hour drive from the capital, Panama City.
With just a few thousand inhabitants, this town has become a must-see for many who love surfing, beaches and staying away from tourists.
But in 2008, the town didn ’ t have many foreign investors or tourists, and the roads were bumpy.
Taking advantage of the global financial turmoil in 2008 and the housing market being at a low point, two young people in their 30s decided to develop a series of seaside homes and storefronts here.
They returned to Israel to raise funds from family and friends, and even to recruit their own friends, opening coffee shops, restaurants and hostels in Pedasi.
By 2013, they had 12 properties in Pedasi: a shopping mall, a resort, a bakery, a coffee shop, and a bar.
The opportunity comes from their own experience: after staying in more than 120 hotels, they believe that the market still lacks a high-quality, interactive experience between the main passengers, and affordable accommodation service.
They want to create a space where travelers can feel a sense of belonging, leave unforgettable memories, and have a place to work and build relationships with others.
A hotel designed for remote workers, targeting millennials and Gen Z
Whether out of intuition or from years of experience in property development, Daniel and Rafael have caught a rising wave of travel like surfing.
Since building the first Selina hotel, they have targeted Millennials (people born between 1981 and 1996) and Gen Z (people born between 1995 and 2010).
They believe that millennials prefer to work remotely and will increasingly prefer to travel while working.
So, in this beachfront hotel, they introduced the coworking space, which was gradually popular at the time.
This allows visitors, whether they are freelancers, corporate employees, digital nomads (people who work digitally, can do their jobs via computers and the Internet, and do not need to enter the office), to complete a high volume of work while traveling.
Daniel and Rafael observe that millennials are finding it increasingly difficult to separate their lives from their work: even while traveling, they are constantly checking their phones, their company mailboxes, and keeping up with their work.
Whether they are remote workers or not, a co-working space can help them with their work.
On the other hand, co-working spaces not only help millennials get work done, but also help them reduce their inner loneliness.
Daniel and Rafael also observed that despite growing up on the Internet and in 3C products, millennials often feel lonely.
So they gave Selina Hotel an alternative KPI: how many friends can a traveler make at Selina Hotel.
At Selina Hotel, people from different industries can meet and communicate through co-working spaces.
In addition, Selina Hotel also arranges local artists to visit the hotel from time to time to interact with guests.
Selina will also invite musicians, artists, and yoga teachers to travel for free without selling beds, which will increase the variety of activities at the hotel without increasing operating costs. In 2021, 66% of travelers said they made at least one friend in Selina.
Subscription: All-you-can-travel
Selina Hotel is also unique in that it adopts a subscription system.
Most hotels use a single transaction, accumulate membership points, and exchange for room upgrades or free accommodation in the future.
This is mainly due to the fact that most travelers (especially non-business travelers) spend less frequently on hotel accommodations.

    Thailand's 5-year visa for digital nomads: Everything you need to know

    Synopsis

    Thailand introduces the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) targeting remote workers and digital nomads with a five-year multiple-entry option. Costing 10,000 THB, applicants need to meet age, financial, employment criteria, and maintain a 500,000 THB balance. The DTV allows legal remote work, spouse and children under 20, and exempts foreign income tax.

    Thailand has introduced the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), aimed at boosting tourism by attracting remote workers and digital nomads. The DTV offers a five-year multiple-entry visa, allowing holders to stay in Thailand for up to 180 days each year, with an option to extend for an additional 180 days.

    This visa is designed to provide an attractive alternative to standard tourist visas, eliminating many immigration and tax concerns for long-term visitors.

    While the application process details are still pending, these basic eligibility requirements provide a preliminary guide for those interested in applying for the DTV. Further information and updates on the application process are expected to be released in July.

    How much does a Thailand DTV cost?

    The Destination Thailand Visa costs 10,000 THB. Applicants must be at least 20 years old, have sufficient funds to cover the visa fee, and demonstrate a minimum balance in their bank account.

    (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates)

    To be eligible for this visa, applicants must meet the following requirements, though these criteria are subject to change:
    • Applicants must be at least 20 years old.
    • They must have sufficient funds to cover the visa fee, which is 10,000 THB.
    • Applicants need to show proof of at least 500,000 THB in their bank account to support their stay in Thailand.
    • Proof of employment with a registered company is also required.
    The DTV is ideal for remote workers and digital nomads who wish to experience Thailand's culture while maintaining their professional commitments.

    Why a DTV is a good option

    The visa requires lower income requirements and fees compared to similar visas in Southeast Asia. It permits legal remote work for international clients and allows holders to bring their spouse and children under 20. Additionally, there is no tax on income derived from foreign sources during the stay in Thailand.

    However, the DTV does not permit employment with Thai companies, and changing visa types will terminate the DTV.

The loneliness epidemic is undying among remote workers

Remote workers are twice as likely to often feel lonely at work compared to office workers, and even more when compared to hybrid employees.

That’s according to business communication company Ringover, which conducted a survey of 1,154 full-time employees based in the U.S.

In a way, that’s to no one’s surprise. While remote work has its advantages like flexibility and lack of a commute, the disadvantages can’t be overlooked. Remote workers are often isolated during their work day in their homes. Unless they are proactive and intentional about leaving the house, they could find themselves under the same roof all day long with little to no human interaction, especially if they don’t live with anyone else. In fact, that same study found that remote workers are 15% less likely to feel isolated when working from home with someone else in the same household.

And while it feels like a lot of people are returning to the office, there are still a lot of people fully remote and impacted by isolation. According to the Pew Research Center, around 22 million employed adults in the U.S. work from home all the time, equal to roughly 14% of all employed adults.

In many ways, remote work is a lose-win situation. Ringover’s study found that more than half of the respondents said that remote conditions make them feel less connected to their co-workers, but that is offset by an improved work-life balance and stronger impetus to meet deadlines.

But the question still remains if employees are embracing the work-life balance gains of remote employment, or if productivity is coming at the cost of isolation.

For example, two employees left travel platform 10Adventures because “they just couldn’t stand the isolation of being in their apartment all day, completely alone, without social connection,” said Richard Campbell, founder of the company.

“On the flipside, for the rest of us being remote is incredible, saving us hours every day, allowing us to eat healthier, and spend more time with the people we love,” said Campbell.

We spoke to workplace experts to provide tips to help remote workers who might be struggling with loneliness.

1. Intentional meetings with colleagues

Sure, we usually have meetings on our calendar already with various colleagues, but that time is meant for business needs. Dr. Diane Rosen, a workplace coach and president of HR consulting firm dr-squared Consultants, says that scheduling a virtual coffee or phone call with someone you’d like to get to know better can go a long way.

“If you have already established contact, this can be natural and organic,” said Rosen. “If it is someone you don’t actually know yet, you can start the conversation over something work-related and take it from there.”

2. Ask for feedback from remote employees

Leaders have the ability to conduct pulse surveys or conversations that help understand how remote workers are truly feeling, and it’s something that workplace experts advocate.

“Leaders can help build a sense of connection and camaraderie with remote workers and team,” said Rosen. “Building a sense of ‘team’ when people are not in the same physical space is one way to create connections.”

That might look like generating new ideas by inviting remote workers to contribute their suggestions on what a successful remote environment looks like for them. This can help leaders address the issues that are lost by not being together, while also ensuring that employees don’t feel isolated.

3. Encourage employees to navigate what they want from work

“The key is for each person to understand what they want out of work, and what fits best for them,” said Campbell. “Remote work is so interesting as it can be great or it can suck. It really depends on each person’s situation as well as the company they’re in.”

While 10Adventures lost two great employees due to not enjoying remote work, it might’ve been the perfect company for someone else who requires that sense of flexibility.

This might also change depending on where you are in your career. Ringover’s survey also found that Gen Z employees are more lonely. Seventy-nine percent of 18 to 26-year-olds say they feel lonely sometimes or often – more than Millennials (65%) and Generation X (62%).

“That may be the difference, all of us currently have partners or families that live with us, so we get our social connection outside of work,” said Campbell.

4. Create a buddy system

“Remote working has created isolation that has led to mental health challenges, fear, and loneliness,” said Eric Hutto, CEO at global technology solutions provider Diversified. “We are way past due taking action to ensure the human is succeeding, not just the team, department, or company.”

At Diversified, that looks like a buddy system, where companionship can help be a key part of the individual and company’s success.

“Companionship accelerates onboarding and helps reduce the likelihood of attrition with associates with one year or less tenure.”
Eric Hutto, CEO at Diversified.

“Companionship accelerates onboarding and helps reduce the likelihood of attrition with associates with one year or less tenure,” said Hutto. “This gives the new associate access to conversations that might otherwise take weeks or months to occur.”

5. Provide recognition and rewards

Another disadvantage of remote working is that employees might feel less valued or visible in their roles, especially if there are others that are working from the office.

“The effect on self-esteem and job satisfaction is a fertile ground for more mental health problems,” said Niloufar Esmaeilpour of Lotus Therapy and Counselling Centre. “Employers should try to recognize and involve remote workers in every aspect of the workplace, having equal opportunities to develop and participate just like other employees.”

One way that might happen is through rewards programs, where HR can help combat this issue. Anthony Knierim, managing director of the Americas at Reward Gateway, said that because there is no quota on sending rewards and recognition, it can be a useful tool.

“Regular appreciation and recognition is a driver of engagement and connectivity,” said Knierim. “It’s what’s behind that, which is the efforts to deeply understand your people. Recognition can be peer-to-peer, so we can really help HR managers make those real efforts to understand people.”

Crypto nomads move back to big cities like London, New York in bear market

The nomadic life is especially well suited to the crypto crowd, with its 24/7 market and ethos of a digital, borderless monetary future, but pandemic travel restrictions, followed by a crash in cryptocurrency prices have made it less practical and too expensive of a lifestyle to maintain

Listen to this article

Over the years, Oliver Gale’s workplace view has included the palm-lined promenade of Miami Beach, the sandy shores of Barbados and the turquoise waters of Mexico’s Caribbean coast.

Now, the 36-year-old crypto entrepreneur is back in London, working out of hotel lobbies. Gone is the gentle sea breeze, replaced by the humming sounds of air conditioners trying to keep the British capital’s unusually warm summer at bay.

Gale is one of many crypto nomads who have started trickling back into major cities like London and New York, as financial hubs start buzzing back to life post-pandemic.

As a subset of digital nomads, roving crypto workers spent the past several years hopping from country to country, persuaded to leave large financial centers as living costs soared. The nomadic life is especially well suited to the crypto crowd, with its 24/7 market and ethos of a digital, borderless monetary future. But pandemic travel restrictions, followed by a crash in cryptocurrency prices have made it less practical and too expensive of a lifestyle to maintain.

“People want to be where business is happening and opportunities to expand their network are present," said Mary Elizabeth Elkordy, who launched her fully remote company Elkordy Global Strategies during the pandemic. “With crypto integrating into more aspects of traditional businesses and industries -- being in a major city like New York or London is beneficial from a networking standpoint as well."

Gale, who is also the co-founder and CEO of blockchain project Panther Protocol, returned to London in March 2020 to start Elemental.io, a consumer credit platform formerly known as PayMachine.

“London is considered the fintech hub of the world and has great tax benefits and fundraising incentives," said Gale, who boasts British and Barbadian passports.

The population of London rose 4% in July 2022 from the same month two years ago, according to NHS Digital data. Offices are starting to see workers return, although not to pre-pandemic levels just yet. About 60% to 70% of workers in London are back at their desks, according to data compiled in June by Google, which tracks the movements of some of its users.

Migration out of many New York City neighborhoods is also reversing as more households are moving to Manhattan than before the pandemic in 2019, according to Melissa, a global data intelligence and address analytics company.

From Partying in Venice, to fasting

Kenzi Wang, co-founder of Symbolic Capital and former vice president and general manager of crypto exchange Huobi Global, relocated back to New York in April after traveling around Europe and Latin America.

“I’m staying in NYC because the bear market reduced a lot of noise and unnecessary networking in the market," said Wang. “I can stay focused on building and hiring for my company.

The current crypto winter reminds him of the previous crash when cryptocurrency prices plunged 80% and it became “a highly efficient time to build" new products and services. The price of one Bitcoin is down 50% this year from its all time high of nearly $69,000 in November 2021.

Wang’s nomadic life included partying with Hollywood actor Vin Diesel during the 2021 Venice Film Festival and strolls on Barcelona’s Las Ramblas. Now he has been slipping back into a life of socializing, playing basketball and expanding his crypto ventures in the Big Apple.

“I’ve also gotten into 20-hour daily fasting and lost a bunch of weight after losing the nomadic conference lifestyle," Wang said.

Other nomads have hit pause on travel to get their financial bearings.

“This most recent turn of economic events and the consequent bear market has hit my finances a little," said 37 year-old Sukanta Sekhar Das, the chief executive of information site CoinMarketBag. “So I thought it would be prudent for me to recoup some of my losses, regain my composure, and move back to a city I love for a permanent residence."

Das, who spent the better part of the last five years traveling around the world, recently settled down in Seoul, where he says the “crypto scene" is great.

“I’m saving a fortune in travel costs -- not to mention the absolute nightmare that travel has been over the past 12-18 months," he added.

Nomads are growing up

Even as room rents in London rise 15% from last year, according to data compiled by roommate search website SpareRoom, and Manhattan rents climb to new highs, some nomads are returning to big cities for more stability. Many of them are, after all, growing older and finding that the lure of being a nomad is not always easy to reconcile with the demands of starting a family.

“My wife, then girlfriend, was unhappy and wanted me to travel less, and I also found that I wasn’t very productive work-wise when I was constantly on the road," said Lane Rettig, a 39-year-old former Ethereum core developer who spent more than four years on the global road before returning to New York in 2020.

Rettig, now a core developer at crypto project Spacemesh, purchased a condo in the New York neighborhood of Harlem and is “grappling with how to stay plugged into a super global, nomadic community with a newborn and a mortgage."

To be sure, some people will never stop roaming. Burning Man, an annual arts festival held in Nevada’s Black Rock City around the US Labor Day holiday, is on Gale’s agenda.

“Entrepreneurship is a game of balancing your responsibility and what you wish to do," he said. “It is an important part of my life to go on adventures -- work and play -- strike up a lifestyle which is dynamic and creative."

Thailand tries to attract global talent with new visa system
Bangkok - DBA
Published on: Monday 17 June 2024 - 10: 29 AM | Last updated on Monday 17 June 2024 - 10: 29 AM
Thailand, a popular and long-time destination for beach lovers and backpackers, aims to increase the number of visitors to pre-covid levels by revamping the border system.
Under the new rules, which will come into effect later this year, citizens of 93 countries will receive a 60-day visa on arrival, up from 57 countries and doubling the current 30-day visa period.
The Southeast Asian country is also set to offer a so-called “digital nomad ” or“ freelancer ” visa for those who want to move there and do business against a backdrop of beautiful scenery.
The goal, the government said in a recent statement, is to “attract global talent. ”
Successful applicants will be allowed to work remotely over a period of 180 days through a five-year multiple entry permit.
Other visa recipients could be people involved in "cultural activities" such as muay tai (kick-box), cooking, music festivals and medical treatment.
Thailand has long been a hub for medical tourism.
The Thai government also said it would relax health insurance requirements for those with other visas or long-term permits.
Some 28 million foreign visitors entered Thailand in 2023, a significant improvement from 11.5 million in 2022, but still far below the 39 million in 2019, a figure that places the country fifth in the world after the United States and on par with Italy.

## What is the Digital Nomad Lifestyle?

Digital nomads are remote workers who leverage technology to perform their jobs from anywhere in the world, often traveling between different countries while maintaining their professional responsibilities.

This lifestyle combines work with travel, allowing individuals to experience different cultures and environments while earning a living through online work.

What are critical aspects of the digital nomad lifestyle?

Adaptablity to new cultures and language

The concept has gained substantial momentum since the COVID-19 pandemic, which normalized remote work for many professionals.

Title:

Content: A longstanding business variable is gaining in relevance: Which time zone are you in? This is going to be a bonus for some parts of the world, and a setback for others.

The relevant driver of change is the growth of remote work. That started with the pandemic, but the movement has taken on a life of its own. It is now possible to work for many major companies, or do your own work, from just about anywhere — provided you have a good internet connection. And as foreign travel resumes, the ability to work “from the road” will be a growing factor even for tourist destinations.

There is an obvious choice for “best” time zone — and it is on the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, which are usually five hours later than U.S. East Coast time (set aside the vagaries of Daylight Savings Time).

You have to keep somewhat later hours, but you overlap with many important meetings. Obviously, for British or European meetings, you are situated just fine. For meetings on the North American East Coast, five hours is not so great a difference. A 4 o’clock afternoon meeting is 9 p.m., which isn’t so bad. In fact, I wish I could shift more of my meetings into the later hours.

West Coast meetings are trickier. But if you don’t take any past 2 p.m., they’re still manageable. Keep in mind that a lot of technology types start their day at 7 a.m. or earlier, precisely because they are trying to more closely match East Coast hours. So the nominal time difference might be eight hours, but due to work norms you get about an hour and a half of that back, leading to what is in effect a six-and-a-half-hour time difference between your Cotswolds chateau and that conference room in Seattle.

I, for one, prefer to be working in the British time zone, even though most of my commitments are on U.S. East Coast time. For one thing, I have mornings largely to myself. Emails have accumulated while I slept, but there is little pressure to answer most of them right away. Americans on the East Coast are sleeping; if they’re on the West Coast, they will soon be preparing for bed.

Call it an illusion if you wish. But sitting in Dublin with my computer, it feels like I am several hours ahead of everybody else. By the time the email and meeting onslaughts arrive, I’ve already gotten a lot done.

What about Asia? That’s difficult for almost everybody outside of Asia. In Edinburgh you might be seven hours behind your Asian counterparts, but there is still partial overlap between the two business days. Compare that to New York: If you start your day at 9 a.m., it is already 9 p.m. or maybe even 10 p.m. in Asia’s major business hubs. While you are working, they are sleeping or getting ready for bed.

As far as the Middle East and Africa are concerned, residents of the British Isles have decent synchrony with them.

One implication of all this is that the real estate along the coast of Northern Ireland, situated in the optimal time zone and with lovely scenery, is probably underpriced. In fact there is a nascent real estate boom in coastal Northern Ireland, perhaps in part reflecting these considerations.

Which are especially bad time zones? Hawaii is 6 hours behind the U.S. East Coast and a dismal 11 or 12 behind the U.K. and Europe, respectively. For global business reasons, you might want to consider doing your weekend surfing somewhere else.

India also suffers. It is 4 ½ hours later than London, a disadvantageous 9 ½ past New York and 12 ½ past the West Coast. India has plenty of global call centers, but their employees often have to work overnight. That might be OK now, as India still has plenty of people willing to work unusual hours for much better paying jobs. But as India gets richer, its time zone will become more of a pure inconvenience. Indians won’t want to give up a normal schedule simply to earn a bit more money.

As for Australia and New Zealand, they don’t coincide temporally with the world’s largest commercial centers. Their problems fall somewhere between those of Asia and those of Hawaii.

I consider all this another reason to be optimistic about the U.K. and Ireland. But if you wish to optimize further yet, at the expense of the weather, might you consider Akureyri, a lovely town of about 19,000, the “Capital of Northern Iceland” and a mere four hours later than New York time? Just perfect for that pending call to Chicago.

Airbus signs record 500 aircraft deal with Indian airline
Airbus (AIR.PA) announced a record 500 aircraft deal with Indian airline IndiGo (INGL.NS) on the first day of the Paris Air Show on Monday, as strong demand for aircraft and air defenses competed for attention to the industry ’ s supply chain problems.
The multi-billion-dollar deal for single-aisle aircraft – the largest ever in terms of number of aircraft – confirmed a Reuters report earlier this month and surpassed Air India ’ s interim purchase of 470 Airbus and Boeing (BA.N) aircraft earlier this year.
The world ’ s largest air show, which alternates with Britain ’ s Farnborough, is being held at Le Bourget for the first time in four years after the 2021 edition fell victim to the epidemic.
French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to the crowded space bazaar by helicopter and watched an overflight show that included the latest development of Airbus ’ A321XLR aircraft, and Air Force including the French Rafale fighter.
On the civilian side, aircraft manufacturers have arrived with increased demand expectations as airlines rush to be able to meet demand and help reach the industry ’ s net zero emissions targets by 2050.
But they also face a challenge to meet this demand as suppliers struggle with rising costs, a shortage of spare parts and a dearth of skilled labor in the wake of the epidemic.
Industry executives say up to 2,000 aircraft orders are on the table for takeover around the world in the emerging commercial aircraft market, on top of those already provisionally announced, as airlines try to fill the void left by the sharp decline in activity in the COVID crisis.
But they said only part of these potential new deals would be ready in time for this week ’ s air show, which could see a mix of new and frequent announcements.
Agency Partners analyst Sach Tossa said: “Only when these appear in the year-end backlog do we have any idea of the market ’ s strength and the quality of orders.
The IndiGo deal highlights the growing importance of India, the world ’ s fastest-growing aviation market, serving the largest population, to aircraft makers.
Peter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, told a press conference.
In another major market, Airbus said Saudi low-cost carrier flynas had confirmed an order for 30 of its narrow-body A320neo jets, confirming a Bloomberg report.
The air show takes place in the shadow of the conflict in Ukraine, with no Russian presence in the chalets and galleries unlike the last event four years ago.
A Ukrainian minister told Reuters that Kiev is in talks with Western arms manufacturers to boost production of weapons, including drones, and may sign contracts in the coming months.
Belgium has said it will apply to join as an observer for the potential successor of the Rafale and Eurofighter multinational fighter jet, the French-German-Spanish fighter project FCAS, despite differences among industrial partners over whether to expand.
France ’ s Thales (TCFP.PA) also announced a contract with Indonesia to purchase 13 long-range air surveillance radars.
Looking at the rest of the offer, Air India may end its recent huge order, split between Airbus and Boeing, as Irish tenant Avolon finishes a deal with Boeing that is seeing a relatively quiet offering after a series of recent orders.
Airbus is seen close to a potentially big deal with Mexico ’ s Viva Aerobus, but by Monday, some sources expected the size to be closer to 60 compared to the three figures first reported, with no guarantee of this week ’ s result.
With increased bargaining power available to them due to supply shortages, airline executives say aircraft makers are becoming tougher on price and more cautious than they were on previous bikes.
In the meantime, engine makers are making bets on fuel-saving technology that will affect how aircraft evolve in the next decade.

Boeing is working on a deal to sell at least 150 of its 737 MAX aircraft to Riyadh Airlines, a Saudi startup, Bloomberg News reported.
Bloomberg quoted sources as saying that Riyadh Airlines, which is wholly owned by Saudi Arabia ’ s Public Investment Fund, is considering buying 300 to 400 single-aisle aircraft.
It added that Airbus may seek to win part of the order.
Boeing declined to respond, while neither Riyadh Air nor the PIF have yet responded to a Reuters request for comment.
Boeing had earlier won an order to supply Saudi Arabian Airlines and Riyadh Air with 78 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, the fifth-largest commercial order by value in the company's history.
Riyadh Air aims to launch flights to more than 100 destinations around the world by 2030, and is expected to contribute to the Kingdom ’ s non-oil GDP growth of up to 75 billion riyals (about $20 billion) and create more than 200,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Riyadh Air and King Salman International Airport are among the latest investments of the Public Investment Fund in the aviation sector, which aims to raise the financial sustainability of the aviation sector and enhance its competitiveness globally.

A Little Surprise for the United States
The PLA Air Force H-6K missile carrier.
Photo: wikipedia.org
Not many countries in the world have strategic bombers.
Only two of them are Russia and the United States.
But it seems that in the circle of states with "arm length" a little has arrived.
advertising
The American profile resource Military Watch reports that the People ’ s Liberation Army of China (PLA) for the first time used its strategic bombers H-6 off the coast of Alaska.
If anything, the designated type is a very heavily modernized Soviet Tu-16.
I wonder what the American experts say.
And they write that the command of the aerospace defense of North America (NORAD) discovered and “tracked ” the flight of two strategic missile carriers Tu-95 of the Russian Aerospace Forces and a pair of aircraft H-6 of the PLA Air Force, operating in the identification zone of the air defense of Alaska on July 24, 2024.
It is indicated that the fighters of the United States and Canada conducted an "interception".
It is also indicated that the Chinese aircraft were accompanied by Russian strategic bombers.
But what American analysts drew attention to is that the Chinese H-6 is not designed for flights over intercontinental distances.
And the fact that Chinese aircraft appeared off the coast of North America gave rise to speculation that they were operating from Russian bases.
Analysts from the United States note that over the years of operation, the flight range of the H-6 missile carrier has significantly increased, thanks to the installation of new more economical turbofan engines, and the use of new composite materials in the design of the airframe allowed the Chinese aircraft to take more fuel.
In addition, the capabilities of China ’ s tanker fleet have increased significantly with the advent of the YY-20, built on the basis of the Y-20 military transport aircraft.
Interestingly, American analysts called the latter type the “largest military transport aircraft ” in the world, which is not at all true.
It is noted that the integration of long-range missiles for the H-6 aircraft further contributed to the growth of the latter's capabilities and potentially allows the latter to hit targets in Hawaii, Wake Island and Guam.
Analysts from the United States suggest that the appearance of Chinese missile carriers off the coast of the United States will not be a frequent phenomenon, but only until the PLA Air Force adopts its first intercontinental strategic bomber H-20.
The latter is a direct competitor to the newest American B-21 Rider.

Taiwan is spending billions of dollars more for this purpose.
Taiwan's government said on Thursday it would spend a further NT $94.3 billion ($2.97 billion) next year to buy weapons including fighter jets to bolster its defenses against China, and that it would receive additional support from F-16 tracking systems.
China, which considers Taiwan part of its territory, has stepped up military and political pressure over the past three years to confirm this, which Taipei vehemently rejects.
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen has already announced on Monday that the total amount of proposed defense spending in 2024 is NT $606.8 billion, up 3.5 percent from the previous year.
The government statistics department, after a cabinet meeting to discuss the budget, said about half of the additional spending of NT $94.3 billion would be used to buy fighter jets, while the rest would go to strengthening naval defenses.
The United States on Wednesday approved a possible $500 million deal to sell infrared search and tracking systems for F-16 fighters, as well as other equipment to Taiwan.
Taiwan's Deputy Defense Minister Bo Horng-hui told reporters that "this will help target the J-20 stealth fighter over the Taiwan Strait in the future," referring to the new generation of Chinese aircraft.
It will also enable Taiwan to more effectively deter Chinese air activity, he added.
China's foreign ministry said Beijing, which routinely denounces any foreign arms sales to Taiwan, had urged Washington to cancel the planned sales immediately.

When developing the FC-31, Chinese military experts hoped for the potential of its export and sought to create a competitor to the American F-35, according to Opex360 journalists.

For a long time, the FC-31 has undergone a number of modifications, primarily in terms of invisibility, electronics and maneuverability.
This led to the creation of the FC-35, the newest naval fighter-bomber of the People ’ s Liberation Army of China.
It is worth noting that at the official level to this day there have been no orders for the export of this aircraft.
But in early 2024, the commander of the Pakistan Air Force.
Zahir Hafizi, chief air marshal, said Islamabad will soon receive "invisible" FC-31 fighter jets.
"We have already prepared the basis for the purchase of the FC-31.
In the near future, this aircraft will be integrated into the Pakistan Air Force, "the commander said.
This information surprised Western military observers.
First, before that, Pakistan was interested in promising Turkish fighters TF-X Kaan.
Secondly, the Chinese company AVIC, the manufacturer of the FC-31 aircraft, did not produce its production models.
However, due to strong relations with China, Pakistan will certainly be available FC-31 in the near future.
One way or another, they will be the first customers of this type of aircraft.
recommendations
As noted, the commissioning of the FC-31 will allow Pakistan to withdraw from service its outdated aircraft, such as the Mirage III and Mirage 5, as well as part of the F-16.

Content: Going by what the Economic Survey has to say on trade and foreign investment from China, India seems to be softening its stance on economic relations with China despite the hostile history between the two countries.

The Economic Survey 2023-24 says that it is inevitable for India to plug itself into the global supply chain without increasing imports from China and also said that allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) from China could help boost India’s exports to the western nations. Interestingly, the word ‘China’ found a mention 132 times in the Survey, highest among all countries.

“Even though India is the fastest-growing G20 country and is now recording growth rates that outpace China’s, India’s economy is still a fraction of China’s,” the Survey said. “Against this background, it may not be the most prudent approach to think that India can take up the slack from China vacating certain spaces in manufacturing,” it added.

Trade deficit

Analysis of trade data shows that in FY24, India’s exports to China amounted to $16.6 billion while imports totalled $101.7 billion, leaving a trade deficit of $85 billion. This deficit increased from $83 billion in FY23 and $73 billion in FY22.

Data also show that as India increases exports of certain products to the US, it is relying on increased imports from China. In electronics, for instance, India’s exports to the US have moved from a trade deficit of $0.6 billion in FY17 to a trade surplus of $8.7 billion in FY24. But India’s imports from China is highest in the electronics and telecom products segment at 38 per cent.

In his media address, CEA Anantha Nageswaran said that most of India’s trade deficit with China is due to import of industrial goods, and the deficit will only increase as the West diverts trade away from China. As India looks to improve its manufacturing capacity, it will have to increase imports of capital goods and as of now, “we have no alternative choices to depend on, given China’s base of capital good manufacturing sector,” he added. He also cited the example of Brazil and Turkey that raised barriers to imports of Chinese EVs but attracted FDI in the sector.

Two choices

“India faces two choices to benefit from China plus one strategy: it can integrate into China’s supply chain or promote FDI from China. Among these choices, focusing on FDI from China seems more promising for boosting India’s exports to the US, similar to how East Asian economies did in the past,” the Survey said.

Ajay Srivastava, Founder, Global Trade Research Initiative, says this will not be the best strategy for India considering evolving geopolitical situation.

“While Chinese companies investing in India and exporting to western markets might seem beneficial in the short term, it risks undermining India’s long-term economic security and strategic autonomy. Dependence on Chinese firms for key manufacturing capabilities could expose India to supply chain vulnerabilities and geopolitical risks,” he said.

He said he never imagined Iranian drones would have so many customers in the world markets.
He stressed the importance of localizing the air fleet and the necessary spare parts when entering the phase of building the fleet, considering that localization can lead to sustainable growth as well as entering the global markets.
He said his country has also been able to produce air brakes, pointing out that many well-known countries around the world ask it to cooperate for joint production.
According to the Iranian military, this development allows the possibility of introducing the internal products of the air industry at the global level.
He said that with the development and development of these areas, there will be more customers worldwide.

Content: In collaboration with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN HABITAT)
The State of Kuwait and the countries of the Arabian Peninsula are exposed to large amounts of dust and dust as a result of sand and dust storms that arise and blow on the region due to several natural and human factors that cause damage to public health and respiratory system in addition to pollution of the environment and climate change in general.
Dust also has negative economic and social effects, as it can cause a negative impact on various economic sectors such as the closure of airports and ports, disruption of air and sea traffic, land transport, agricultural production and livestock, where it can cause crop damage and negative impact on production and financial revenues. Finally, exposure to dust may lead to increased health costs, including increased diseases associated with prolonged exposure to dust. The state budget allocated to health.
In the State of Kuwait, the average number of dust days during the year is about 137 days according to the statistics of climate control in the Meteorological Department in a study of the average number of dust days per year, for the period from 2000 to 2021. These days are distributed between dust storms, raised or rising dust and suspended dust. This is equivalent to 60 tons per square kilometer, which causes health, environmental and economic problems, with losses estimated at KD 190 million annually.
Therefore, several government agencies in the State of Kuwait, including the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, the Meteorological Department of the General Directorate of Civil Aviation, the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, the Environment Public Authority, the Petroleum Corporation and Kuwait University in agreement with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN HABITAT), in the first phase of the project "Adaptation and Resilience to Combat Cross-Border Sand and Dust Storms" in Dhi Qar and Muthanna Governorates. With an area ranging from 150 to 200 square kilometers in Iraq located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and 250 kilometers from the borders of the State of Kuwait, the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development will finance the project, which will have a duration of the first phase of 5 years at a cost of about 4 million Kuwaiti dinars.
This project is expected to contribute to the reduction of more than 40% of the dust passing through the State of Kuwait.
Reducing dust locally, regionally and internationally requires the concerted efforts of all people living on this planet and adopting the concept of sustainability and environmental preservation. This cooperation will yield initial results in monitoring climate change and weather conditions in Kuwait cities to identify the positive impact of the UN-Habitat project to combat transboundary dust.
As well as cooperation and exchange of climate studies and data related to Kuwaiti cities more affected by dust storms.
The importance of the first stages of the project is to identify the main causes that lead to the formation of sand and dust storms in terms of climatic, geological and chemical factors, through the use of specialized programs to find appropriate solutions to protect and raise the possibilities of adaptation and resilience in the areas affected by these storms and thus absorb and mitigate their negative effects....
In this regard, a grant agreement was concluded on 27 / 10 / 2021 between the Kuwait Fund for Development and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN Habitat) to finance the project, as well as a number of technical cooperation agreements between the program and the partners.
It should be noted that the actual implementation of the preliminary works began in the first quarter of 2023, where the basic data and technical information needed to identify the hotspots were collected for study and analysis, in cooperation with partners in the Republic of Iraq and the State of Kuwait.
Launched in February 2023, this project follows a three-pronged approach: it improves the knowledge base and understanding of the conditions that cause sand and dust storms, as well as their impact on human health, and the necessary prevention and mitigation measures.
Second, it is making significant efforts to restore ecosystems in areas that are the source of sand and dust storms.
Thirdly and most importantly, it helps to strengthen the resilience and capacity of local authorities and the most vulnerable communities in southern Iraq to adapt to the impact of desertification and contribute to mitigating the root causes of sand and dust storms.
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN HABITAT) and the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) hope to reduce the risk of sand and dust storms, improve environmental and living conditions in Kuwait and the region, and bring together other Gulf countries affected by sand storms to expand the coverage of this regional initiative to combat desertification and reduce the impact of this environmental phenomenon.

Content: Recently, Athens and other parts of Greece were hit by a sandstorm from the Sahara desert, the sky was orange and seemed to be in a different world, as many people watched the spectacle outside, while authorities issued a respiratory risk warning.
According to foreign news reports such as the Guardian and CNN, Greece was hit by a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert between the end of March and the beginning of April this year, affecting even Switzerland and southern France.
Unexpectedly, the Sahara dust storm hit Greece again on the 23rd, and the National Observatory of Athens said: “This is the most severe dust concentration in the Sahara since March 21-22, 2018. ”
Authorities have warned that sand and dust can block sunlight and obstruct visibility, while the concentration of small pollution particles in the air can increase, which may have adverse effects on the human body.
From the picture, the Athens sky is darkened by dust from the Sahara, and the city seems to be covered in a dark orange curtain, but this does not frighten the locals, who are instead strolling outside to enjoy the strange scenery.
Greek meteorologist Kostas Lagouvardos said in a Facebook post that Athens looked like a “colony of Mars. ”
In fact, 60 to 200 million tonnes (60 to 200 m tonnes) of dust is raised in the Sahara every year. While the largest particles fall back to the surface quickly, the smallest particles can travel thousands of kilometres and may even spread across Europe.
