What these 8 have in common

They run $855 to $3,800 a month all in, housing included, for the setup this guide assumes.

Most of them share the same character: City life, Food, Culture.

8 of them list a dedicated nomad or remote-work visa. Eligibility and other long-stay routes vary, so check the official rules before relying on it.

8 are inside their own best months for this period, rather than merely tolerable.

They sit in 7 different countries.
