About IAN NOMAD

IAN NOMAD is a no-fluff resource for people who work remotely and want to live somewhere better — or at least cheaper.

We cover the things that actually matter when you are figuring out life abroad: which visa to get, where to live, how to handle your taxes, what insurance is worth buying, and which cities give you the best quality of life for the money.

What You Will Find Here

Visa guides — Real requirements, real costs, what actually happens when you apply
City breakdowns — Monthly budgets, neighborhoods, coworking spaces, and honest pros and cons
Money and taxes — How to bank, how to get paid, and how to stay legal without overpaying
Accommodation — Airbnb vs coliving vs monthly rental: when each one makes sense
Remote work — Tools, setups, and strategies for working well from anywhere

Who Writes This?

IAN NOMAD is written by people who have actually done this — applied for the visas, moved to the cities, made the mistakes, and figured out what works. Every guide is based on real experience, updated for 2026.

We do not write about places we have not researched thoroughly. We do not recommend products we have not used or evaluated. And we update our guides when things change — because in the nomad world, things change constantly.
