Currently, more than 20 countries offer remote work visas, and more are in the works.

“If your pay was set using a lower location-based pay tier, you’ll receive an increase in June. Before you move, make sure to talk to your manager about performance and time zone expectations, as well as your availability for team gatherings,” the CEO informed.

Airbnb now has 4 million hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals across over 220 countries and regions to date.

I think it will unlock some amazing creativity and innovation—and make working here really fun.“-Airbnb CEO Brian Cheksy
