3. Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
Tulsa Remote is a program that pays remote workers $10,000 to relocate to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Unlike the smaller villages in Europe, Tulsa is a mid-sized American city with growing tech and arts scenes. The program is open to U.S. citizens or legal residents who are at least 18 years old and work full-time remotely for a company based outside of Oklahoma.
You’ll receive the money in chunks—$2,500 upfront, $500 per month, and a final $1,500 after a year. They also offer free co-working space and help you find housing and community connections. The cost of living is low, and the city has great coffee shops, music venues, and outdoor spaces. If you’re not ready to go full countryside but want something more affordable than New York or L.A., Tulsa could be a sweet spot. Plus, it’s a real community—people are welcoming, and events happen year-round.
