Since the end of the pandemic there has been a shift in the way many desk workers in the UK view their employment. A study found that 43% of Brits said they would not apply for an advertised job if the description didn’t explicitly state that it was flexible and 37% of Brits asked said they would like a hybrid role so that they could work while they travel for a portion of the year.
But where are the best cities around the world in which to work remotely as a Brit? A recent study by computing and tech retailer, Currys, analysed 268 cities around the world and ranked them on their monthly rent, basic utility price per month, broadband speed, safety index and the length of stay allowed for UK citizens. These were each scored out of 10 to give a total score out of 50.
Tbilisi in Georgia takes the top spot. The biggest benefit of Georgia is that with a digital nomad visa, British nationals can spend up to a year in the city working remotely, and there are no taxes for six months. Chiang Mai in Thailand comes a close second. Visitors are met with a wonderful metropolis full of exceptional food, hip live music venues and a deeply Buddhist population. The city scored high for reasonable living costs. In third place is Bucharest in Romania, scoring 36.16 out of 50. Bucharest is known for its vibrant cultural scene.
