Many thanks to the digital nomads who have shared their expertise with us for this blog.

If you’re seeking a change of scenery, the digital nomad lifestyle is one to consider. Can you see yourself working by the sea, or from a bustling coworking space in a European city, or deep in the mountains? If you can, you’re not alone, with the amount of people working remotely around the world quadrupling between 2015 and 2023, with 7% of these being from the UK (USA take the lead with this, with 46% being from the states). Part of this astronomical rise has been facilitated by the increase in countries offering digital nomad visas. So, if you want to dip your toe into the global community of wanderlust-driven professionals, we’ve summarised everything you need to know.

how to renew passport?

When should you renew your passport?

A lot of times, we will simply book our holidays, pack our bags and be on our way to the airport. But it is very important to check the expiration date on your passport because if it is expiring soon, you could be refused entry. Some countries aren’t so strict about having your passport valid for a period of time before your travel. For instance, Australia, Canada and the USA require your passport to only be valid for the duration of your stay. But some countries, such as China, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey and most of the European (not including Ireland) countries aren’t as lenient. They will require you to have your passport valid for at least six months after your return. This will also be the case for most countries that require you to have a visa to enter.
