South Korea is launching a digital nomad visa in 2024 and it will allow remote workers to stay in the country for up to two years.
Inca trails and lush rainforests: This South American country is introducing a digital nomad visa

Peru has announced plans to introduce a digital nomad visa. It will enable remote workers to stay in the country for 365 days, with the possibility to extend.
Currently, EU citizens can travel to Peru on a 183-day tourist visa.
The goal of the new scheme is to attract international professionals to Peru, hoping they will boost the country’s economy through tourism and services while supporting cultural exchange.
The aim is for some visitors to remain in the country and pursue business ventures by upgrading to an investor visa.
Peru’s new digital nomad visa is aimed at remote workers employed by companies outside of the country. They will therefore not need to obtain a separate work visa.
The government announced in November that it hopes the extended stay will give nomads time to explore the country’s touristic, gastronomic and cultural offerings while remote working.
The visa will be made available once upcoming changes to Peru’s Migration Law have been regulated and published.
Peru has a growing digital nomad scene, particularly in the capital Lima, where coworking spaces are abundant - including from international names like WeWork.
It also offers a low cost of living for nomads working for European companies. According to crowd-sourced online database Numbeo, consumer prices including rent are 87 per cent higher in Italy compared with Peru, 112 per cent higher in France and 120 per cent higher in the UK.
The country also has no shortage of ancient cultural sites and natural wonders to explore in your downtime - from world-famous Machu Picchu to the biodiverse Amazon rainforest and the Cordillera Huayhuash peaks.
The country also draws foodies for the bold flavours of its national cuisine, from fresh ceviche to the subtly smokey ‘lomo saltado’ stir-fried beef.
Peru joins a raft of South American countries jumping on the remote work visa trend.
In Argentina, as of last year digital nomads can stay for 180 days with the option to renew, providing they can prove they have an adequate source of income from a source outside of the country.
Brazil also introduced a remote work visa in 2022 allowing extendable stays of one year, followed by Ecuador, which allows two-year stays.
This year, Colombia launched a two-year digital nomad visa, while Uruguay introduced an extendable 180-day visa.

Sunshine and snow in Europe's southernmost ski resort
The aroma of a tapas bar is an incongruous sensation when dressed in ski kit, but it’s the end of a long day on the slopes, and plates of grilled squid, spicy patatas bravas and plump green olives are on offer, along with a bargain glass of Rioja (€3.50/£2). It’s 6pm and the lifts have only just shut in Sierra Nevada, Europe’s most southerly ski resort. The mountain town in Andalusia enjoys lots more sunshine than most ski areas in the Alps. This, admittedly, is accompanied by a fairly functional assortment of accommodation spread along a steeply winding road. Unless you’re staying right in town, walking home while carrying your kit takes quite an effort at this altitude. The resort’s hub, Pradollano, sits at 2,100 metres, while the ski area’s 65 miles of pistes extend up to 3,398 metres: the chilly summit of Veleta, Spain’s third-highest mountain.
