These countries have recognised the potential of remote workers and the positive effects that they have on the domestic economy – whether that’s through renting properties, paying bills or shopping – all while not interfering with the local employment market.

Countries with digital nomad visas legalise the status of remote workers, allowing them to stay for longer. Similar to tourist visas, remote work visas are easy to obtain and allow for stays for up to 1 to 5 years. Requirements for each country are slightly different and, in some cases, could be the deciding factor when choosing a future temporary home. 

General digital nomad visa requirements are: 

• Applicant must be over 18 years old
• Applicant must pay the fee for the visa application
• Applicant must have a specific minimum monthly income
• Applicant must have a job or business they can do remotely
• Applicant can’t work in the local economy and/or local workforce
