At the latest, the corona pandemic should have made it clear to many doubters that there is no permanent job is an essential requirement for productive work. This knowledge got around among digital nomads a long time ago. Digital nomads are digital workers who forego a permanent place of work and instead carry out their work sometimes from this and sometimes from that country.

The American Travel insurance platform Insuremytrip has now examined which countries offer digital nomads the best conditions. In its ranking, the platform evaluated the internet speed, the average rental prices, the acceptance for digital nomads, the place of the respective country in the happiness index and the visa requirements. The result: Norway wins by a narrow margin over Mexico. Interestingly, Germany comes in third in the ranking, followed by Portugal and Iceland.

Nomad ranking is only partially meaningful
The above list also includes the regulations for a work visa. However, German citizens do not need a visa either in the EU countries mentioned in the ranking or in Norway. Digital nomads, who frequently change their place of residence, often simply enter as tourists, even if, strictly speaking, they would need a work visa in their country of residence. In addition, it also depends on where you want to work in the end.
