Costa Rica
A beautiful central American country characterized by its lush, volcanic natureunspoilt coastline and vast capital, San José from the colonial era, Costa Rica is a paradise for nomads who would like to be more friendly tax regimes and low bureaucraCy.

Georgia

This can be extended by another 30 days if you intend to stay longer on the island of the gods – the Nomade capitalist adds that nomads have the option to have a C211A VisaGranting a 6 -month stay on the basis of earning at least $ 2,000 per month.
