More countries are inviting travelers to trade their home offices for the opportunity to live and work abroad during the pandemic.
Stanford University economist Nicholas Bloom estimates 42% of the US labor force is now working from home full time. And workers may not be returning to the office anytime soon.
Starting Aug. 21, remote workers can apply to live and work on the 35-square-mile island of Anguilla. It is a British overseas territory that has registered only three Covid-19 cases to date. Priority to enter Anguilla is being given to applicants from “low-risk” countries as well as long-stay travelers.
A stay under three months costs $1,000 for individuals and $1,500 for a family of four. Entrance fees, which double for longer stays, cover two Covid-19 tests, a digital work permit and other costs.
Travelers who apply for new year-long work visas to Barbados know within five working days whether their visa request is confirmed. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the island, including restaurants, cafes, public libraries and public parks. Visa holders can send their children to private schools or pay some money to attend a state-owned public school.
