Portugal is the latest country to embrace digital nomad lifestyle.
Starting Feb. 1, the islands of Madeira will open to people who have the flexibility to work from anywhere, and ready to switch up their work-from-home scenery.
According to the official website, the Ponta Do Sol will welcome digital nomads first. Registration is now open to reserve your spot in the Madeira Digital Nomad pilot program, which will run from Feb 1 through June 30, 2021.
What sets Portugal’s program apart from others is that it’s one of few countries where the government is partnering with nomads to create the right solutions. Local officials have partnered with Startup Madeira and acclaimed digital nomad Gonçalo Hall to give complimentary access to a shared working space that has all the tools offered in a major city.
Madeira, often referred to as the Hawaii of Europe, is a great region to work, live, and play in. It is known for its namesake wine and year-round warm temperatures.
