We began the study by selecting a list of 75 major global cities often cited as ‘most livable destinations. The technology has been available for a while now, but it’s taken seeing it in practice for the idea to really take hold,” comments Omer Kucukdere, Founder and CEO at Nestpick. “The last year has really proved to many companies that remote-working is not only a possibility, but actually something that can be beneficial to everyone involved. To find out more about this phenomenon, we decided to investigate which cities are not only the most attractive and welcoming to foreigners, but also have the infrastructure and legislation in place to make it easy for remote employees to live and work there. Instead, they only offer visas to those who take jobs on location, therefore missing the opportunity to bring high-wage earners to their cities without the need to generate new jobs.
The pandemic has accelerated this trend rapidly over the last 12 months, however, very few countries have enacted legislation designed to attract foreign-employed workers. Even before the pandemic, advances in technology and digital connectivity prompted many companies to adopt a work-from-anywhere policy, allowing employees to choose a living/working arrangement that suits them best. At Nestpick, we encounter millions of users on our accommodation platform seeking a change of location that better matches their work and lifestyle needs.
