Brits can travel all over the world and enter countries on a number of different visas, but some might not know what a Digital Nomad is.
Basically, a Digital Nomad visa grants workers the right to legally live in another country, while working online and earning from their home country.
It's ideal for someone who wants to travel around the world whilst continuing to work their regular job.
The Immigration Advice Service (IAS) explains: "It is primarily aimed at remote workers who only need a laptop or a computer to work for their foreign-based company or business but still wish to experience living in a foreign country while employed."
Passport Photo Rules
Many countries around the world offer some form of a Digital Nomad visa which comes with various eligibility requirements.
The IAS adds: "However, there are broad similarities across the board that link most Digital Nomad visas. For instance, there are basic eligibility criteria and stipulations you must follow when becoming a digital nomad, as well as common rules on what you can and cannot do."
Some criteria might include salary requirements, how experienced a person is and how "highly qualified" they are.
There are 51 countries that offer the Digital Nomad visa to Brits so here's where you can apply to.

Despite the fact that Brits can apply for a Digital Nomad visa in several countries, the UK as a whole does not offer one.
The IAS adds: "However, standard visitors are able to work remotely for a foreign-based business in the UK during their permit.
"For most visitors, this will be a period of up to 6 months. If you wish to stay in the UK for more than 6 months, you will have to apply for a long-term visa, such as a dedicated work visa or a student visa, if you wish to enrol in a higher education course in the UK."
