À savoir avant de déposer votre demande

Asia has traditionally been the default destination for budget-conscious nomads — even before dedicated visas existed, Thailand, Bali, and Vietnam attracted remote workers on tourist visas. The formalization of nomad visas across the region has brought more legitimacy and longer stays, though requirements vary dramatically.

Southeast Asia dominates the region in nomad-friendliness, but East Asia (Japan, South Korea) is emerging with niche programs targeting high earners. Timezone considerations matter in Asia: you may be 5-13 hours ahead of US clients, which affects sync-heavy work.
