Remote work has unshackled millions from offices—so why are borders still holding them back? Digital nomad visas exist in dozens of countries, yet without alignment, they remain inconsistent, inefficient, and difficult to navigate.
Plumia’s Global Standard for Nomad Visas provides a structured framework for policymakers to develop effective visa programs. By aligning core criteria, governments can attract skilled remote workers, strengthen economic resilience, and ensure integration into host communities.
Policy Recommendations
- Standardised eligibility criteria to simplify applications.
- Clear taxation and employment rules to ensure compliance.
- Pathways for long-term residency to retain skilled talent.
- Local integration strategies to maximise economic and social stability.
Why This Matters
A global standard reduces friction, enhances economic resilience, and strengthens international cooperation on labour mobility.
This policy paper will be presented as the opening keynote at the UN’s migration meeting in March 2025, shaping discussions on remote work migration.
