Digital Nomad Visa Support

Working remotely from abroad

A digital nomad visa is a national long-stay route (often a Type D permit) for people who earn their living remotely — freelancers, contractors and employees working online — and want to base themselves in another country for longer than the 90 days a short-stay visa allows. Instead of relying on the local job market, you show that your income comes from work you can carry out from anywhere.

Several countries now run versions of this route, including Spain, Portugal, Greece, Croatia and Estonia, with others adding schemes over time. Each sets its own conditions around minimum income, proof of remote work, health insurance and accommodation, so the right approach depends entirely on where you plan to live. We confirm the current requirements for your chosen destination before you commit to anything.

“Digital nomad visa” is often used as a catch-all. We separate true remote-work routes from self-employment and assignment visas so you start with the right legal category.

Who it suits

This route tends to fit UK residents who:

  • work online for clients or an employer outside the destination country
  • want to stay longer than a standard short-stay visa permits
  • can evidence a steady, ongoing income rather than one-off work
  • may wish to bring a partner or children as dependants

What we help with

We support you through the application from start to finish:

  • confirming the correct route and document list for your destination
  • checking and pre-checking your documents before submission
  • completing application and dependant forms accurately
  • preparing a clear cover letter explaining your remote-work situation
  • booking your consulate or embassy appointment
  • guiding you through what to expect on the day

What to prepare

Requirements differ by country, but you will typically gather a valid passport, evidence of remote income such as contracts or bank statements, proof of health insurance, and accommodation details. We tell you exactly which versions, translations and certifications your specific consulate expects, so you are not guessing.

We support your application; we do not make the decision — that rests with the relevant authority. When you are ready, start your application and tell us your destination and intended stay, and we will outline the right route for you.

Frequently asked questions

What is a digital nomad visa?
It is a national long-stay (Type D) permit that lets you live in a country while working remotely for clients or an employer based elsewhere. Rules, names and conditions differ by country, so always check the official consulate or government source for your destination.
Which countries offer one?
Several European countries run remote-worker routes, including Spain, Portugal, Greece, Croatia and Estonia, among others. Availability and conditions change, so we confirm the current route for your chosen destination before you apply.
Can I bring my family?
Many of these routes allow dependants such as a partner and children to be added, usually with extra documents and fees. The specifics vary by country, and we help you assemble the right paperwork for each applicant.
Do you guarantee the visa will be approved?
No. The decision rests entirely with the relevant consulate or immigration authority. We provide application support — checking documents, completing forms and booking appointments — to help you submit a clear, complete application.
How long does it take?
Processing times vary by nationality, country and consulate workload. We recommend starting well ahead of your intended move and checking the official timescales published by your destination’s authorities.
