Digital nomad visas

32 countries currently run a digital nomad or remote-work visa. Below is every programme we track, with the income you must show, how long the permit lasts and the government fee. 32 of them have had every figure read off the government's own page — the date of that check links to the source. 9 offer some form of tax benefit. Coverage: Europe (11) · Latin America (9) · Asia (7) · Africa (3) · Caribbean (1) · Middle East (1).

Where a government states only a monthly or only an annual threshold we publish that one and leave the other blank, rather than multiplying it out and presenting the result as official. Thresholds pegged to a minimum wage or to GNI per capita move every year.
