Digital Nomad & Work-Abroad Watch

Why this is recommended

A visa window that opens, a tax rule that changes, or a country that starts enforcing residency is a five-figure decision. Members get the change the week it happens, with the application link.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

Remote workers who can live anywhere and are deciding where, and the growing number already abroad.

When it runs

Embassies and tax authorities publish during the European and Asian business day; members read it before the US morning

Scope

Nomad and remote-work visas for Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, the UAE and Canada; tax residency, 183-day and totalization rules; IRS foreign earned income and FBAR; US state residency and withholding for remote workers; employer-of-record and payroll rules; expat health insurance and banking

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Digital nomad and remote-work visa launches, rule and fee changes, tax residency and 183-day rules, state tax rules for remote workers, employer country restrictions, health insurance and banking changes for expats and cost-of-living shifts in the most popular remote-work cities, with the country first.

Track remote work across borders for US-based workers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: digital nomad and remote-work visa launches, closures, fee, income-threshold and duration changes for Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, the UAE and Canada; tax residency, 183-day and social security totalization changes; IRS foreign earned income and FBAR changes; US state residency and withholding rules for remote workers; employer-of-record and payroll rule changes; and expat health insurance and banking changes. Prefer immigration authorities, tax authorities, embassies and established expat and tax reporting; ignore visa-agent marketing. Put the country or rule first in the title and state who qualifies and from when. Use high severity for a visa opening or closing, a tax rule taking effect within 90 days, or an enforcement action. Return no more than 5 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who qualifies, the cost, how to apply, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
