The digital nomad visa makes it easier to obtain permanent residence. About fifty countries offer digital nomad visas. As a rule, it is received by IT employees who can afford to work remotely for a good salary. In September 2023, Sri Lanka<\/a> became another country that allowed visitors on this type of visa. How an island state can attract specialists from all over the world is discussed in this material.<\/p>\n

The digital nomad visa<\/a> is no longer a trend, but an opportunity to lure highly qualified specialists to the country. Even if you don\u2019t work in IT, you shouldn\u2019t close the tab with this material, because a laptop connected to the Internet is already considered an area related to digital technology. Another thing is that to obtain this type of visa you need to have a certain level of income received from abroad.<\/p>\n

The idea of \u200b\u200bintroducing a digital nomad visa in the republic was thought about back in 2021, but it was officially approved only in September 2023. With this type of document you can stay in the country for a year. Moreover, since digital nomads<\/a> in Sri Lanka are not tax residents, they are exempt from paying the fee. However, there is a nuance: working in local companies with such a visa is prohibited.<\/p>\n
