Frequently Asked Questions
What is geo-arbitrage?
Geo-arbitrage is the practice of earning income in a strong currency (like USD or EUR) while living in a country with lower costs. Remote workers can leverage this by working for companies in high-income countries while living in places where their money goes 2-4x further.
Is geo-arbitrage just for digital nomads?
No. While popular among nomads, geo-arbitrage works for anyone with location-independent income. This includes remote employees, freelancers, business owners, investors with passive income, and retirees. You don't need to travel constantly - many people settle long-term in one lower-cost country.
Will my company pay me the same if I relocate?
It depends on the company's policy. Some pay the same regardless of location (location-agnostic), others adjust based on local market rates. Even with a 20-30% location adjustment, you often come out ahead due to the dramatic cost difference. Research your company's policy before planning.
What are the downsides of geo-arbitrage?
Potential challenges include: timezone differences with your team, visa/legal complexity, distance from family and friends, healthcare quality concerns in some destinations, potential tax complications, and adapting to a new culture. These are manageable but require research and planning.
