度假岛喊你去远程工作  

Always wanted to live abroad? Now may be your best chance.
More countries are inviting Travelers to trade their home offices for the opportunity to live and work abroad during the pandemic.
Stanford University economist Nicholas Bloom estimates 42% of the US labor force is now working from home full time. And workers may not be returning to the office anytime soon.
斯坦福大学的经济学家尼古拉斯·布鲁姆估计，42%的美国劳动力现在全天在家办公，而且他们应该也不会很快返岗工作。
As the pandemic marches on and panies like Facebook announce employees needn't return to the office until mid-2021 (or never in the case of Twitter)
some countries are shifting away from traditional tourism models that rely on a stream of short-term visitors in favor of travelers who are willing to stay for longer periods.
These destinations are enticing this new batch of "digital nomads" with low Covid-19 rates
decreased costs of living and a slower
more relaxed pace of life.
Starting Aug 21
remote workers can apply to live and work on the 35-square-mile island of Anguilla
a British overseas territory that has registered only three Covid-19 cases to date.
A press release issued by the Anguilla Tourist Board on Aug 19 quoted Kenroy Herbert
the board's chairman
as saying the territory is "targeting a new clientele we call digital nomads
who will e and work remotely from Anguilla on extended stay visas."
Priority to enter Anguilla is being given to applicants from "low-risk" countries
defined as those with less than 0.2% infection rate
as well as long-stay travelers.
A stay under three months costs $1
000 for individuals and $1
500 for a family of four. Entrance fees
which double for longer stays
cover o Covid-19 tests
a digital work permit and other costs.
Unlike other destinations
Anguilla asks only for a "brief description" of the type of work one will do while there.
Travelers who apply for new year-long work visas to Barbados know within five working days whether their visa request is confirmed.
There is free Wi-Fi throughout the island
including restaurants
cafes
public libraries and public parks. Visa holders can send their children to private schools or pay a small stipend to attend a state-owned public school.
Bermuda is appealing to those working at cramped home offices by touting its pink beaches
crystal waters and 18 miles of walking paths.
