Abstract :This article examines digital nomadism as a hybrid phenomenon at the intersection of transnational mobility, digital labour, and lifestyle migration. A scoping review identifies four principal factors related to the concept of the digital nomad: definitional ambiguity, technology mediation, international mobility, and lifestyle orientation. The article portrays digital nomads as representative of late capitalist mobility, emphasising their role in global structures of privilege and vulnerability. The study suggests increased empirical and context-sensitive research, specifically regarding host communities, urban effects, and the experiences of non-Western nomads influenced by visa and market exclusions. It also emphasises the need to address gendered, racialised, and affective aspects of digital nomadic life. Ultimately, it evaluates emerging digital nomad visa regulations for their selective inclusivity, indicating a necessity for rigorous examination of new mobility governance frameworks.
