40 Digital Nomad Visas In One Chart

Digital nomad visas allow remote workers to stay and work online in a country for longer than the typical tourist visa. Many also confer significant tax benefits.

Nomad Deals compiled a complete list of digital nomad visas available in 2024, with data on visa duration, minimum monthly income requirements, and the tax rate on personal income (if staying for more than 183 days per year).

What is the difference between a digital nomad visa and a tourist visa?

In theory, digital nomads aren’t supposed to be working remotely while visiting a country on a tourist visa. These rules are rarely enforced, although there have been cases of nomads getting into hot water by blabbing to the wrong people.

Digital nomad visas allow foreigners to work remotely for a company not located within the host country. Generally, these visas are issued for at least a year, which is significantly longer than the usual visa-free stay for tourists of 3-6 months.

What is the monthly minimum income requirement?

Most countries that offer digital nomad visas want to ensure that you make enough money to support yourself. This figure ranges from just $684 per month in Colombia to over $7,000 in Iceland. The Bahamas, Saint Lucia, and Uruguay do not have any minimum income requirements.

How much do I need to pay in tax?

You are considered a resident for tax purposes if you spend more than 183 days in a country per year. Many digital nomad visas include the benefit of no taxation on foreign-sourced income, which can significantly reduce your tax liability. Other countries impose a flat tax or use a progressive taxation system.

How do I apply for a digital nomad visa?

Some countries process the visa in the consulate in your home country, while others require that you apply once you’re in the country. Other required paperwork may include a background check, proof of employment and health insurance, and a deposit of funds in a local bank.

Visit the website of the country for more information. Be sure that you are using the official government website, typically denoted by “.gov” and the country code (e.g. the Colombian foreign ministry at www.cancilleria.gov.co).
