Dear Digital Nomads,
I am looking for a place where I can get easily a Digital Nomad visa i.e Self Employed VISA
Please share with me the locations you prefer for living as a Self- Employed Base. I am from South Asia(Bangladesh), that’s why Its tough for me to get Visa’s generally for travelling.
I am thinking to change my base to Singapore .
I have some queries regarding it,
Hacks of Price of Living : I don’t want to live in hostels where 4/8 persons live in a room, want to live in a room may be in a shared apartment, gym and other facilities would be nice, I am getting in 800 to 1000 SGD’s pretty good Condo rooms, can I turn it down to 500-600 ?
Food : I stayed there for a month recently, so pretty much know the food hacks now, if I am eating at home its cheap and hawkers places are also cheaper.
How’s it for business Base ?
I run a Software Development Company mostly into building MVP’s for Startups and running extension teams for SME’s. So I think it will be pretty good for me based in Singapore for finding new opportunities and Client Communications.
What do you think about it and any suggestions would be great.
I know its pretty easy for top quality developers to find a remote job and go nomad. I have did development and support kind of stuff for nearly 5 years and it seems this is not something I want to do for long term. So, looking for opportunities mostly into Product Management/ Project Management roles. I have some experience in this sector and I think I will be able to do good in this arena.
But I tried to search every remote job board, couldn’t find any such. So, my question where is the recruiters hiring Remote Product Managers/ Project Managers or they are not up to in remote work for this kind of role.
I have been following nomad list, remotek and other remote job portals and from last two years have been applied to a lot number of remote jobs. Unfortunately none of them replied back me yet :(.
I have CS background with 5 years BI and DB development experience, also I know scrum and other PMO stuff.
I am looking for roles including remote PMO office and also I can do high end tech support stuff too. Sorry for the self-promotion but I have applied to more than 200+ opp’s but unfortunately no one of them returned back to me why is that? I am planning to start my travelling life from last few years and this is the only thing is stopping me to do that.

I am based in Dhaka, Bangladesh and I am planning to start my nomad life later December. I was preparing before that.
I had some burning decisions to be made before that.
Savings : How much you need to have savings before starting your nomad life and how much will be enough and constant and easily accessible to everywhere I mean mode keeping the money i.e Cash or Banks
Home Base: Do you guys have a home back and do you come back there in a routine period such as every month or so.
And What’s in your backpack: I need a extra 23 inch monitor for work otherwise I don’t feel comfortable, I am thinking ways to fit in my backpack, what is the common size of your bags and do you carry a lot luggage, usually picking luggage takes a lot time and a lot hassle too. I prefer only backpacking and hand luggage that’s why.
Would you please suggest and share your experiences with me.

tl;dr: introduce yourself in this thread.
We must all get sick of the same backpacker travel questions when we meet new friends, I know I do.
You know the ones - where are you from, where’ve you been, where are you going, what do you do, how long have you been doing it - etc.
The novelty of answering these questions wears off after maybe a week, but they’re nonetheless insightful and no matter how much we hate them, we find ourselves asking others.
So let’s bring the dreaded backpacker questionnaire to NomadForum and introduce ourselves shall we?

No need to answer them all if you don’t want to 
But the more you share… The merrier!
I am interested if anyone in the Forum has participated in one of these “Remote Year” style trips around the world. I see that many are popping up for 2016 as well and have not launched yet but there are probably a few ongoing that aren’t on the below list.
Some examples are:
I’ve also heard there are some short term options where developers and programmers can meet up for a week or more at a time in a given location and work together like http://www.hackerparadise.org/
I definitely see the benefits (community, logistics, adventure, creative inspiration, etc) but I’m just interested in people’s feedback overall. There doesn’t seem to be much info online from actual participants and their feedback. For instance:
What has been your experience overall?
Do you prefer this type of group travel over traveling alone or with 1-2 other people?
What are the pros and cons?
How professional and organized are the companies offering these services?
Do people drop out?
Would you do it again?
What is what you expected?
Did you save time/money?
Was it a better overall experience than being a regular Digital Nomad?
What are accommodations like?
Is it worth the premium price?
What would you change/improve about the experience?
Any other feedback?
Etc.
Hi guys
Why do you think south east asia attracts far more 1st world digital nomads and tourists than latin america does? i have some theories but i would like to know your opinions because most of the people in this forum are from 1st world countries
Is it because is cheaper? safer? closer? more “cool” ?
thanks
This is an algorithmic recommendation based on @msurocks99's trips history to find places they haven't been to yet that other people with similar travels as them also went and liked.
Bali is amazing, but Canggu isn't really that great -- actually there are SO MANY better places, like Uluwatu, Gili Islands or even Ubud that I can't understand the hype. As almost everyone said below, beaches are crappy, roads are terrible, sidewalks are non-existent and having a motorbike is a must. On the other side, food is great and cafes are pretty reasonable with all those incredible bowls. Anyway I wouldn't recommend it for more than a week.

Just remember this, people working at supermarkets make 2 usd/per hour. If you want to live like a local, then you can save a lot of money. If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk from the BTS, then you can easily get a one bedroom apartment for 300 USD per month, in a high class condo, plus with free golf cart ser

Food is cheap and everywhere, easy to go out and have fun/meet for business. Rent has crept up but still far better value than where I came from. Internet: 36 EUR/month get me 450/40 mbps (cable -> DOCSIS 3.0) Public transport is 2.70 EUR/ticket. No woman I know has said they felt unsafe. Some really odd, xenophobic sounding comments on here. Biggest downsides IMO: service quality at restaurants - not that people are rude, but they don't seem to particular

I would agree that the weather is perfect and Barcelona does have a great tech scene as well as food and has everything landscape and lifestyle wise that you could think of. Bureaucracy isn't too bad if you nip it in the bu** early and have patience. Also, some clubs are free. (Jamboree!). The metro is also, very efficient with red and purple being the busiest lines. Very walkable city too. Plenty of opportunity to meet people as well. The beaches are ok

It is still great and you can find really cheap apartments (300-400$) and restaurants (2-3$ for a main). Wouldn't recommend staying there during the burning season. The best area is Nimman, but it's also the most expensive. You can stay in the old city that's very nice but that gets noisy during the weekend for the night markets. Last but not least, very safe city. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.

It's a bit of an older vibe than Canggu, and there's certainly a big chunk of yogi's kicking around — but I liked it much better than Canggu and found it less pretentious. Plus, you can drive down there in 45mins whenever you want some beach or party vibes. As others mentioned, there's some great coworking spaces, cheap warungs, some really nice spots to stay cheaply if you go just outside of the mad tourist
