9 Caribbean Countries With Digital Nomad Visas

One thing that the pandemic has taught us, is that the workplace as we know it has been turned on its head. Covid-19 has had fast-changing effects on workplace culture including the attitudes of employees towards work and people quickly discovered that commuting to an office every day is not necessary for their productivity and output.

The Caribbean has long been a place where people vacationed but what if it were a place where people could also work while enjoying a change of scenery? It is possible! Enter the Digital Nomad Visas. DMVs are a special type of visa that gives someone the legal right to work remotely in a country other than their country of residence. With the decline in tourism during the pandemic, many Caribbean countries offered DMVs as a way of targeting digital nomads and upping visitor arrivals. While travel regulations have somewhat relaxed globally, these DMV programs are still in operation for anyone who wishes to tap into them. Keep reading to see our list of Caribbean countries that offer DMVs.
