We are digital nomads, consumers of the globalized environment, but the path towards the freedom of mobility seems much too arduous. The procedure to obtain a visa for remote professionals is highly country-specific, non-standardized, document-heavy and excessively time-consuming. However, digital nomad visas do not have a standardized procedure that would facilitate these methods; instead, nomads are facing bureaucratic challenges for each country.

This interferes not only with the freedom of movement and productivity of the digital nomads but also with improved administrative convenience for governments, which in some ways often hinders their potentiality to reap the advantages of this valuable asset – this itinerant workforce – to the optimum fruition.

To redress these imbalances, we require a coherent answer—a global protocol that resolves all these issues and recognises the formalities of digital nomads while creating one concise method of acquiring a visa. This framework is crucial for the today’s modern careerist and at the same time to enable a bi-national beneficial relationship between the countries that the professional chooses to work in.
