This visa option is designed for remote workers, allowing them to live and work in the Philippines for an extended period. The exact details are still under development, but the initiative has gained significant traction. In fact, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. himself has ordered the drafting of an executive order to fast-track the program's launch.
The focus seems to be on swift implementation, with an initial phase that excludes tax incentives. This streamlined approach could see the Nomad Visa program up and running sooner rather than later.
If you've ever dreamt of working remotely from a beautiful beach or bustling city in the Philippines, this news is exciting! The Nomad Visa will provide a legal framework for you to live and work in the country, eliminating the limitations of a tourist visa.

The Philippines, with its stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and friendly people, offers a unique work-life blend for remote professionals.
While details like eligibility criteria and application processes are yet to be announced, the Philippine government's commitment bodes well for the program's swift launch. Keep an eye on travel blogs and official channels for updates.
