Mexico

Mexico's geographic and time zone proximity to the US (EST alignment for eastern Mexico) makes it the top destination for American remote workers. No special remote work visa exists, but 180-day tourist permits are available to most nationalities. Mexico City's Roma-Condesa neighborhood offers world-class restaurants, galleries, and coworking spaces at 40% the cost of comparable US cities, outperforming #4 Canada's urban hubs which average 50% higher rental costs. A 2023 study showed 62% of US-based digital nomads cite Mexico as their primary base.
