The pandemic accelerated the dissociation process with physical offices and made it feasible to live in a region where there was no job market before. With this in mind, the US government began offering financial aid and incentives for those who work, especially remotely, to move to small towns and encourage their expansion.
Values can reach up to US$ 20,000, equivalent to approximately R$ 100,000 at the current exchange rate, but there are also states that offer tax incentives, associations, partnerships and much more.
However, there are some prerequisites for these new residents: only adults can apply (in the US, the civil majority is from 21 years old) who are able to work in the country. This means that a work visa or US nationality is required.
