Workers in the United Kingdom can soon ignore work-related emails and phone calls during out-of-office hours. It comes after the new Labour government’s election campaign pledge for the "right to switch off," which allows workers to disconnect from work outside of hours and refuse extra work during weekends. But the "right to switch off" is not a new concept and has already been embraced by several European countries. Here’s how some of them have implemented it.

For digital nomads and remote worker...

Taiwan is set to join the growing list of East Asian countries offering digital nomad visas. In an announcement last Thursday, National Development Council (NDC) Minister Paul Liu said he hopes the six-month visa will attract global talent. Rather than rivalling recently launched digital nomad visas in Japan, South Korea and Thailand, Taiwan’s visa could complement them. For example, remote workers could head to Taiwan after using Japan’s non-extendable six-month visa. EU tourists currently enjoy 90-day visa-free access to Taiwan but they are not permitted to work during this time. Liu also an...
