Croatia, Spain, and Seychelles now offer digital nomad visas under Rs 10,000. Tempting? Sure. But with coworking hostels, 5G, and soul-soothing views, India’s not far behind.
Who is a digital nomad? A creator, coder, consultant, or anyone who works on the go. All they need is a laptop, good Wi-Fi — and a window with a better view.
