πŸ“„ Ease of Business Registration + 4.5 -- 10 Business registration is bureaucratic but manageable with online steps. Scores around St. Gallen's level due to moderate complexity.
πŸ“„βœˆοΈ Digital Nomad Visa Availability + 0.5 -- 35 A dedicated Digital Nomad Visa exists, renewable up to 1 year, but it's less popular and requires higher income proof than top-tier programs.
