The Digital Nomad 'Visa-Hype' Velocity
This index tracks the velocity of digital nomad visa implementation. We measure the time elapsed between the first official government press release announcing a visa scheme and the date a functional application portal becomes live for public use.
By calculating this delta, we can distinguish between nations actively building digital infrastructure and those using 'visa-hype' as a tourism marketing tool.
Data is compiled from official government gazettes, ministerial press releases, and direct monitoring of immigration portals across participating nations.
