The opportunity to work from home has become a revelation for many office workers: it turns out that it is not necessary to sit within dusty walls of the office. It is enough to have a good Internet connection and a fast computer. Some went even further with the conclusions, realizing that nothing keeps them even in their own country, work does not require a constant presence nearby.
The operator Circleloop conducted its own research to find out which countries are most suitable for digital nomads – people whose life and work do not depend on being in the same place, only a computer is needed. The calculations were based on the speed of broadband and mobile Internet in different countries, the availability of special tourist visas that allow you to work for yourself, the cost of renting a one-room apartment and the level of the world happiness index.
Canada is very popular countries among IT workers, and this does not cause any unnecessary questions. This country is one big technology hub where digital giants like Google and Mastercard are planning to open new offices. In addition, there is a stereotype that Canadians are extremely polite and friendly people. I just want to check it out on my own, right?
According to the study, the query "remote work in Canada" also took the first place – 83,900 requests annually! More than 20% of the country's population are migrants from different countries. At the same time, Canada is one of the ten happiest countries in the world. All this suggests that any remote user will feel as comfortable as possible.
One of the most expensive countries in the world. But as a place to move is a great option. The UK is in the Top-20 happiest countries in the world, and despite the not very pleasant climate, the country is in second place in terms of requests for remote work.
London is one of the largest metropolitan areas, where a huge number of international companies are located. Yes, it will not be easy to find a job on the spot, but anything is possible, especially given the large number of migrants coming to this country.
The third position in the list was taken by Romania, which is successfully developing as one of the main information centers in Eastern Europe. The country was distinguished by the low cost of broadband Internet – only $8.15. Therefore, if your work is critically dependent on the Internet, but you do not want to spend a lot of money on everyday life, it is worth considering this country.
Communication is the most important thing when working from home. And it's not just the price, but also the quality. According to the study, two countries have particularly distinguished themselves in this field.
Singapore ranked first in terms of Internet speed at 229.42 Mbps, while Hong Kong was only slightly behind at 215.19 Mbps. In both places the cost of the Internet is about $40 for the average package. Romania goes third after this couple, although the speed there is lower (188.55 Mbit/s), for this price it looks like a very advantageous option.
And if you are not very satisfied with the local Internet, because the mobile phone is your best friend, then you should look at other areas. Standard rates range from 129.62 Mbps to 898.35 Mbps.
