Episode Summary:
Today we’re unpacking a topic that’s changed the way professionals think about work and travel — the Digital Nomad Visa. More and more countries like Portugal, Greece, Costa Rica, are inviting remote workers to live and work legally beyond their home borders.
Australia doesn't have a visa specifically designed for digital nomads. So, the question is, can digital nomads call Australia home — even temporarily — and what pathways exist if you’re dreaming of living and working here?
Whether you’re a freelancer, tech professional, or someone simply dreaming of a location-independent lifestyle, this episode is for you.
Closing Thoughts:
While we don’t yet have a formal visa stream tailored for remote workers, the world is shifting fast, and Australia’s migration system may well follow. If you’re a remote professional dreaming of living in Australia, it’s essential to understand the legal landscape and explore the right pathways. Just make sure you do your research, plan ahead, and know the legal implications.
