How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a 0-100 point value for access to local contracts and utilities. It describes how well foreigners can set up electricity, water, internet, mobile plans, household contracts and comparable services after arrival.

The calculation combines eight blocks: digital and infrastructure usability counts for 32%, residence and registration context 18%, banking and payment access 14%, governance and rule of law 12%, local registration 10%, everyday foreigner context 8%, expat community 4%, and moving/customs context 2%.

A high value requires more than good infrastructure. The country also has to make proof requirements, contract setup, identity checks, payment channels and administrative steps practically usable for foreign residents.

Countries with strong digital government and open everyday systems receive a limited bonus. Small territories with thin utility structures or countries with isolated payment and administrative systems are cautiously capped.

Values are stretched to the current Nomadino country comparison. The rating equals the rounded raw value; higher values improve the ranking.
