Find America to be a Covid cesspool? Work remotely? Here are some new residency schemes inviting workers abroad

Other than the $263 (£199) application fee, Bermuda has relatively few restrictions on the visa, which allows for multiple entries and exits. You do have to provide valid health insurance, demonstrate ‘sufficient’ means (though there is no hard figure) and, in the case of students, show evidence of enrolment in a collegiate programme, but are otherwise left to live life as a temporary resident.

“We hope this visa can be a test-drive for some business people – even if they haven’t necessarily set out on a test drive – as they might fall in love with the place and want to make it a permanent business home,” says Jones.
