Digital nomad visas by country

Which countries have a digital nomad visa?

Of the 72 countries we cover, 36 run a dedicated digital-nomad or remote-work visa — including Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Estonia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama, Malaysia, Thailand and the UAE. The rest are reachable through retirement, income, or work-based long-stay routes instead.

Which digital nomad visa is easiest to get?

The most accessible combine a low income floor with a straightforward process — several Latin American and Southeast Asian options sit at or below roughly $1,000–1,500/month. Our ranked guide orders every country by income floor so the easiest appear first.

Do digital nomad visas let you avoid tax?

Not automatically — it depends on the country's tax system, not the visa. Some countries tax only income sourced or remitted there (territorial), which can leave foreign earnings largely untaxed; others tax worldwide income once you're tax-resident. Each country page flags which basis applies.
