With the rise in remote work––and more than half (54 percent) of people wanting to work fully remote––interest in work-from-anywhere jobs has also gained momentum. Coveted for providing professionals the chance to perform their careers while exploring the world, these sought-after roles can be some of the most challenging to land. To help job seekers better assess remote job opportunities while embracing a work-from-anywhere lifestyle, FlexJobs has released its 2023 Digital Nomad Guide to the top 10 companies, career categories, and job titles for work-from-anywhere jobs, as well as key advice for anywhere workers.

A “digital nomad” is generally described as any professional who has the ability to work remotely from various locations around the world and is not tied to a specific city, state, or country.

To compile the comprehensive guide, FlexJobs analyzed its database and determined which companies had the highest volume of work-from-anywhere job postings that met the following criteria between January 1 and July 31, 2023:

• 
  Allows “work-from-anywhere,” or fully remote role without location restrictions

“Remote work has helped create greater work-from-anywhere opportunities for job seekers,” said Keith Spencer, Career Expert at FlexJobs. “But because being an “anywhere worker” is growing in popularity, these roles can still be surprisingly challenging to secure. In addition to referencing our Digital Nomad Guide of companies and resources, digital nomads can stay competitive in their job search by paying close attention to location requirements in job postings and spotlighting key qualifications that demonstrate why they’re perfect for the job on every application,” Spencer concluded.

In addition to landing a work-from-anywhere job, working as a digital nomad may be more complex than workers anticipate. Before diving into a digital nomad lifestyle, FlexJobs’ career experts advise workers familiarize themselves with the following information on digital nomad visas when staying in a chosen country for an extended period.

1. What Are Digital Nomad Visas

Regardless of specific terms used, digital nomad visas are designed to offer a residency permit for long-term, location-independent workers desiring an extended stay. Digital nomads are typically expected to work as freelancers, remote employees, or entrepreneurs. Some countries allow for freelancing for local companies, and others require the traveler to limit work to companies they already had a relationship with before traveling.

2. How to Get a Digital Nomad Visa

Requirements for digital nomad visas vary from country to country. In general however, workers will need financial proof of income for living expenses in their destination country and proof that they will continue to work remotely. In addition, they’ll need to apply for a digital nomad visa through the embassy of their host country, noting that response times can vary greatly––anywhere from two weeks to several months. Finally, workers should be mindful of the time constraint and ensure they have a backup plan if a visa is delayed.

3. Know the Countries Offering Digital Nomad Visas

Some countries have a track record for being excellent remote work locations. These include:

• Argentina
• Australia
• Costa Rica
