Digital nomad visas in Asia – Small Business UK

Asia is an enormous mix of different cultures, with rich wildlife and flavourful cuisines.  

According to Statista, Bangkok (Thailand) is the top remote working city destination worldwide. Thailand, meanwhile, was the second most-visited country by this group – five per cent of the digital nomad population have been there.  

Cost-of-living is a major draw for digital nomads. Asian countries with digital nomad schemes have cheaper living costs across the continent.

Fast, accessible internet is another attractive trait for digital nomads. Considering that the UAE, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines all outdo Great Britain on internet speed, you might be even more productive than you are at home!
