Digital Nomad and Remote-Work Visas

Which country suits you depends less on the marketing and more on three things: whether the route is legally built for foreign remote work, whether your income and employment history can be evidenced in the form the authority wants, and whether you need to bring family.

The table below gives the legal form of each route so you can rule countries out quickly. Routes that are self-employment or assignment based are listed separately, because applying under the wrong label is one of the easiest ways to assemble the wrong file.

Thresholds, fees and application channels change. Open a country guide for its review date, its official source links and the specific traps on that route.
