frequently asked
Quick answers.
- What is the best Latin American city for digital nomads?
- On our nomad score the smaller bases lead: La Fortuna (Costa Rica) and Córdoba (Argentina), with Mendoza and Monteverde behind them. Mexico City is the big-city pick for infrastructure and food, but it sits far down this list, pulled down by Mexico's country-level safety figure.
- Are LATAM digital nomad visas widely available?
- Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica and Mexico (via temporary resident visa) all offer paths for digital nomads. Mexico's TRV is the most popular for US-based remote workers.
- Is Latin America safe for digital nomads?
- Varies by city. Mexico City, Medellin and Buenos Aires have safe nomad neighborhoods, but petty crime is real, research specific areas before booking long-term.
