From nomad to resident
In a Euronews report about Spain's Digital Nomad framework, a remote-work entrepreneur described spending years as a digital nomad before settling in the Canary Islands with his family.
He explained that an earlier visa situation had made the flexibility he wanted difficult. He later built a business around the remote-work community in Spain.
Why the route matters
For many people, the objective is not simply to spend a few months somewhere warm.
It may be to move with a partner, bring children, create continuity, build a business or become part of a local community.
The route should follow the life plan — not the other way around.
