Why is this considered hard? A date flexible return flight from Toronto is $935 ($725 USD). Compared to what a developer can make in really any Western country, I don't really see what the issue is.

Compared to what a developer can make in really any Western country. In my Western European country, we make less than $20k/y on average, so that is kind of high (~ 2 months' rent) for developers on the lower end of the scale. I'm not arguing against you, just pointing out that salaries for devs are very variable even in the Western countries.

  >In my Western European country He quoted you a price from Toronto. You can probably find Ryan air for under 200€ roundtrip - bigger problem will be that you'll probably spend 2 days on it. Also 20k $/year as a developer ?! You earn more in Eastern Europe unless you're a PHP "developer" or something like that.

In the Nomad Forum where Estonia is currently giving an AMA, they mentioned that many of the applicants are coming from India & Malaysia, where the cost of a flight would be a much bigger deal. https://nomadforum.io/t/i-m-kaspar-director-of-estonia-s-e-residency-program-ama/4769/13 https://nomadforum.io/t/i-m-kaspar-director-of-estonia-s-e-r...
