FIVE MORE REMOTE HOTSPOTS

BARBADOS

The Welcome Stamp visa costs $2,000 (£1,540) or $3,000 (£2,113) for families, and exempts applicants who work for overseas companies from paying local income tax, for stays of up to 12 months, with the opportunity to reapply. barbadoswelcomestamp.bb

ESTONIA

Last year, the Estonian government amended its Alien Act allowing special ‘e-resident’ visa stays of up to a year. Applicants must be able to support themselves with an income of at least €3,504 (£3,170) a month. e-resident.gov.ee/nomadvisa

ICELAND

The Work in Iceland visa was extended last year to include countries beyond the European Schengen area, and applies to any foreign national not required to have a visa to enter Iceland. Successful applicants must be permanently employed by foreign companies, meet supplemental health insurance requirements and can stay for up to six months. work.iceland.is

ITALY

Beat Brexit’s long-stay travel restrictions in Europe and relocate to one of Italy’s depopulated villages. Places such as Locana, outside Turin, have offered cash incentives (in this case €9,000/£7,731) for newcomers to take up residency in a rural village.

IRELAND

Despite being set off Ireland’s stormy west coast, Arranmore has a high-speed offshore internet hub to attract people to remote work and help repopulate its deserted shores.
