NomadSEAGuide

Researched guides to digital nomad visas, US taxes abroad, and Southeast Asia city costs, checked against official sources.

I’m Changsu Park, an independent publisher based in South Korea. I run NomadSEAGuide to turn scattered official rules into clear guides for people who travel and work abroad.

To be upfront: I am a researcher, not a digital nomad. I don’t write from first-hand experience of living in the cities or holding the visas covered here, and I won’t pretend to. Instead, each guide starts from primary sources: government visa pages, tax agency publications, and a provider’s own terms and fee schedule. I list those sources in the article and note when the rules were last checked.

What you’ll find here

  • Travel: city guides covering rent, internet, transport, and visa basics for remote workers.
  • Money: tax, Social Security, and benefits topics for US citizens living abroad.
  • Policy: visa and entry-rule changes as governments announce them.

Start with the topic hubs: Digital Nomad Visas, US Taxes & Money, and Cities & Travel.

How I research

  1. I start with the official source, not another blog’s summary.
  2. I compare it against a second official or primary source when one exists.
  3. I mark anything that changes often, such as visa fees and tax limits, so you know to confirm it before you act.
  4. Cost-of-living and internet figures come from public trackers and current listings, so I present them as ranges, not promises.

I’m not a lawyer, tax professional, or immigration adviser. See the Disclaimer for details.

How guides are kept up to date

Visa and tax rules change often, so a guide is never “finished.” When an official source announces a change, or a reader reports one, I re-check the affected articles against the source and update them. Guides that can’t be verified anymore are taken down rather than left online with outdated information.

How the site is funded
