Digital Nomad Visas are typically short-term visas lasting between 6-12 months to allow people to work remotely from a given country. In many cases, these can be limited with respect to access to healthcare, pathways to permanent residency/citizenship or have other limitations. But they can offer a comparatively quick exit-strategy to buy some time, depending on the country.
