Croatia
Europe
Croatia's Digital Nomad Residence Permit is the clean route for third-country remote workers, but it is a dead end that builds no path to permanent residency. Its tax residency test has a real trap too, simply having a home available to you here for 183 days can make you resident even if you rarely set foot in it.
