    not sure if it’s tangential, but the pandemic has also obviously impacted remote work, with more companies adopting policies that make remote work possible in the long-term. i’ve seen several countries starting to take advantage of this and create new visa’s for remote workers who want to adopt a “digital native” lifestyle. i.e. costa rica and georgia have created new remote worker visa’s to help stimulate their economy.

      i think iceland has also created a new visa for these reasons, but focused on families whose income makers are remote workers.
