Episode description

Visas, tourist stamps, tourist cards, oh my!

The very last thing you want to happen when you arrive in a new country is to get denied entry at the airport, and get stranded in a McDonalds. 

Especially if you're a first time digital nomad!

But how do you figure out what you need to do to get into a country? 

Unfortunately, there isn't a clear answer - it's truly the wild wild west out there. Every country has different requirements, paperwork, duration, etc. 

So we have come up with a list of the 7 critical things you need to watch out for to ensure that you won't get turned away. 

In this episode we will help you figure out: 

  • Where to search for the latest information on what you need to do before arriving in a country. 
  • How long you can stay in a country before you have to leave. 
  • What happens if you stay too long in a country. 
  • How long you have to wait before going back to a country. 
  • If you need proof of a return flight or ongoing travel. 
  • If you need a covid test or proof of vaccine. 
  • If you need a digital nomad visa (Pro tip: you probably won't need one or will you likely use one.)

We also talk about exactly what you need to do to get into the some of the main digital nomad hot spots, including Bali, Mexico, Colombia, Europe (Shengen), Panama, Costa Rica, Vietnam.
