How to choose a digital nomad visa
Start with the income threshold, because it decides which countries you qualify for. Then look at how long you can stay and whether the permit can be renewed or leads to long-term residence. Finally, check the tax position: a low visa fee matters little if a long stay makes you a local tax resident.
Frequently asked questions
What is a digital nomad visa?
A digital nomad visa is a residence permit or long-stay visa that lets you live in a country while working remotely for an employer or clients based elsewhere. It usually requires proof of a minimum income and health insurance.
Which digital nomad visa has the lowest income requirement?
Of the programmes we track, Ecuador has the lowest monthly requirement: 3 basic salaries – about US$1,446 per month in 2026 (about US$1,446 a month).
Can I work remotely on a tourist visa instead?
In most countries a tourist visa or visa-free entry does not formally allow work, even for a foreign employer. A digital nomad visa gives you a clear legal basis to stay and work remotely.
Do digital nomad visa holders pay local tax?
It depends on the country and how long you stay. Some countries exempt foreign income for nomad visa holders, while others treat you as a tax resident after about 183 days. Check each guide and get advice for your situation.
