Wanna Work From Home in Paradise?

Gonna have to work from home for the next year? Want that home to be in paradise? Bermuda is among a handful of small territories and nations around the globe which, after successfully managing the first wave of the virus, are now launching year-long remote worker visas in hopes of helping kick-start their wounded economies with an influx of foreigners. With the "Work from Bermuda" program, remote workers can get a one-year residential certificate to work - and play - on the island. Government officials in Bermuda, which reopened its borders on July 1, noticed that tourists were asking how to extend their 90-day entry visas. Meanwhile, the tourism community saw visitors doing things they'd never done before, such as joining gyms and booking villas for months on end. Glenn Jones, interim CEO of the Bermuda Tourism Authority says, "That was the lightbulb moment for us." Other than the $263 application fee, Bermuda has relatively few restrictions on the visa, which allows for multiple entries and exits. You do have to provide valid health insurance, demonstrate "sufficient means" (though there is no hard figure) and, in the case of students, show evidence of enrolment in a collegiate program, but are otherwise left to live life as a temporary resident.
