The USA does not offer Digital Nomad visas. Tourism/Business (B1/B2): The most common option. Allows stay up to 6 months, but legal work is not permitted (though meetings, conferences, and negotiations are allowed). For Russian/Belarusian citizens, obtaining a visa requires traveling to a third country (Poland, Kazakhstan, Serbia, etc.), and waiting for a slot can take months. Talent visa (O-1): The main path for founders and top specialists. Requires proof of recognition (articles, awards, high salary). ESTA: For EU citizens (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, etc.) and several other countries—visa-free entry by electronic authorization (up to 90 days).
Car: An absolute necessity. Without a car, there's no life here (distances are huge). Traffic is legendary. Uber/Lyft: Works everywhere, but expensive due to distances. Metro: Exists, but coverage is weak, and using it in many neighborhoods in the evening is unsafe.
LAX: One of the world's busiest and most chaotic airports. Direct flights from Europe, Asia, Oceania. From CIS countries—only connecting flights (via Istanbul, the UAE, Qatar). Flights are very long (16+ hours with a stopover).
Relaxed and glamorous. Here, no one walks. Dress code: 'Athleisure' (expensive activewear like Alo Yoga). All conversations somehow come down to show business, diets, scripts, or traffic.
Actors, directors, bloggers, musicians, and all creative industry workers. Lovers of the ocean (surfing), hiking, and a healthy lifestyle cult.
Coworking spaces: WeWork, NeueHouse (elite club for creators), Second Home (office in a garden). Studios: The world's best base for content creation (recording studios, soundstages, equipment rental). Internet: Fast, but expensive ($70–100/month).
Very expensive. — Single person: ~$3.5k–5k — Family: ~$7k–10k Rent: 1-bed in a good neighborhood (Santa Monica, West Hollywood): $2500–4000. Gas: Most expensive in the USA.
