Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh

  • Forgetting about visa costs and requirements — many popular nomad destinations now have digital nomad visas costing $200-1,000+ to apply
  • Not budgeting for international health insurance ($150-400/month) which is essential and not optional
  • Comparing costs without considering tax obligations — US citizens owe taxes regardless of residence, though the FEIE excludes up to $126,500 (2024)
