Both Techpats and Digital Nomads rely on digital tools and online communication to carry out their work from different locations around the world. However, Techpats tend to be involved in more technical roles that require a certain level of expertise and stability. Whereas Digital Nomads may travel around frequently or refrain from registering as resident in their chosen location(s) Techpats are likely to stay and work within the same country on a temporary or permanent basis.
