Explore the 700 islands of the Bahamas through the BEATS program, which suits remote workers and offers educational opportunities for remote students from any university worldwide.

Benefits

Introduction

Bahamas BEATS is one of the Caribbean’s most accessible Digital Nomad Visa programs, as it is open to self-employed people, remote workers (with no minimum income requirement), and remote students. Remote students have access to additional resources through the University of the Bahamas, such as a 3-credit Bahamian Cultural Experience Course, library, technology access, and student activities (estimated additional cost: $1,785).

Pink sand beaches, crystal clear water, succulent conch and local food festivals, and even the exuberant swimming pigs in Exuma captivate visitors to the Bahamas. This tropical paradise is a convenient time zone for American remote workers and offers direct flights to the U.S.A. and U.K.
