I think I'd be interested in revisiting this idea. I'm working remotely. I would switch to night-shift in Europe. tier 2 city would need to have decent internet. I'm assuming its common... I'd need to check into Dublin, Ireland or somewhere near Netherlands for tier2 cities. https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/1bhvxkh/2nd_or_3rd_...

* Digital nomad visas only last 1-2 years. I assumed I'd need something more if I were to pick up my life and move somewhere... I suppose I could just live on the edge and not forget about renewing? Netherlands has an MVV thing, but it's tied up in some paperwork. There's a list of digital nomad places on Google, such as Spain. I'm wondering about renewal though, is 1 year stay enough? should i place my bets that it is renewed?

* Norway's Digital Nomad:

https://www.etias.org/blog/norway-digital-nomad-visa The digital nomad visa can be issued for up to two years and it can be renewed while living in Norway at a local police station.

* Holy cow this idea could work! Technically fulfilling the idea to keep my job and remotely work.

I mean, can't speak for everywhere in Europe, but we have a place in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere Czech Republic. And the internet for ~30 Euros is better than my $100 CAD internet in Canada... Cell coverage across the country also better than Canada.

As for the digital nomad visas, a lot came into existence during Covid, so the rules are ever changing, and vary country to country (lots of things like immigration and healthcare are handled by each country, only some rules span the whole EU)... I think some countries allow you to renew indefinitely though (CR definitely does, France too, don't know about all of them though)...
