A digital nomad visa is a special type of visa or residence permit that allows remote workers to live in a foreign country while working for employers or clients outside that country. These visas typically require proof of remote employment and minimum income levels.
Eligibility varies by country but generally includes: remote employees, freelancers, business owners, and independent contractors who can prove stable income from sources outside the host country. Most programs require health insurance and a clean criminal record.
Many digital nomad visa programs allow you to include family members (spouse and children) in your application. Some countries charge additional fees for family members, while others include them at no extra cost.
Tax obligations vary significantly. Some countries offer tax exemptions for digital nomads, while others require tax payments after a certain period. Always consult with a tax professional to understand your obligations in both your home and host countries.
