1MN #129 — Spain is officially the world's #1 nomad visa
The rankings are in — and the new European hotspots flying under the radar might surprise you.
📰 WHAT’S HAPPENING
▸ Spain Tops 2026 Digital Nomad Visa Index, Beating Malta and Portugal Spain just scored a near-perfect 99.67/100 in the global Digital Nomad Visa Index, edging out Malta, Portugal, and Germany. The visa offers a path to permanent residency in just 5 years, and the Beckham Law locks your foreign income at 0% tax for up to 6 years. Been sitting on the fence about Spain? Time to move.
▸ Airbnb Is Launching Private Airport Transfers in 125 Cities—Here’s How the New Service Works Airbnb just dropped a feature nomads will actually use: private chauffeured airport transfers, bookable straight from the app in 125 cities worldwide. No more juggling separate transfer apps or hoping your Uber shows up at 4am. It’s the kind of seamless arrival upgrade that makes the whole “new city every few months” thing a lot less chaotic.

🌍 CITY SPOTLIGHT
▸ Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸

▸ Tbilisi, Georgia 🇬🇪
Georgia’s capital keeps quietly delivering. No visa needed for most nationalities (up to a full year), cost of living around $1,200/month, and coworking spots scattered all through the charming Old Town. April is genuinely the sweet spot — go before summer crowds arrive. → Read more · Explore experiences
