Signal Over 50 countries now allow foreigners to live and work remotely for up to two years

Summary

This signal concerns digital nomad visas as a challenge to traditional ideas of citizens' rights and responsibilities toward states. The report states that more than 50 countries currently allow foreigners to move in and work remotely. These arrangements permit stays of up to two years. Work, residence and citizenship are thus increasingly separated from one another. The spread of such visas shows states themselves loosening the link between where people live, where they work and where they belong. The report cites it as part of its story that notions of statehood and citizenship are evolving.
