According to these governments, digital nomads will bring entrepreneurial ideas to their countries, which will be valuable to technology and similar sectors. 

Let’s review the specifics and requirements to get a digital nomad visa in these countries.

Italy

Italy’s long-awaited digital nomad visa is finally available for non-EU citizens who carry out “a highly qualified work activity with the use of technological tools capable of allowing them to work remotely, both as a worker self-employed or as a collaborator or employee of a company even if not resident in Italy,” reads the decree.

Requirements:

• Eligible candidates must earn €28,000 annually or more.
• Robust health insurance that covers you for your entire stay. 
• Proof of accommodation for the time the visa is valid.
• Proof that you have been a digital nomad or remote worker for longer than six months.
• Criminal records.

The visa is valid for one year and it can be renewed if the applicant has the same conditions.

Digital nomads must be tax-compliant in Italy before applying for this visa. The Italian government will contact the taxation office in the applicant’s country of origin regarding taxes.

If interested, visit an Italian diplomatic-consular office to start the process.

Turkey

The Republic of Türkiye is now offering a digital nomad visa for international remote workers.

The Turkish Culture and Tourism Ministry gazetted the requirements for those who are interested.

Requirements:

• Candidates must be aged 21 to 55 years old.
• A university degree.
• Digital nomads must be employed, self-employed, or hold a business contract with an overseas company.
• Eligible candidates must earn $36,000 or more per year.

South Africa

South Africa is the latest African country to offer a visa for “highly skilled workers” in the technology sector (some exceptions apply). Nomads will be allowed to live and work in this country for a set period.

Requirements:

• Proof that you earn ZAR 1 million per year (around $53,000).

Eligible applicants are aged 21-55 years old, hold a college degree, make $3,000 per month, and come from any of the above-mentioned countries.

Candidates must upload a valid passport and register in GoTürkiye, the official government website for digital nomads.

Successful applicants will be issued a “Digital Nomad Identification Certificate,” which you should present at a Turkish visa center or a consulate back in your country.

The government looks to cater to those interested in history, exotic culture and cuisine, affordable living, and strong infrastructure.

Visa holders will be able to choose among Istanbul, Dalaman, Izmir or other multiple cities ready to welcome them. 

Regarding the country’s capital, GoTürkiye says it’s “a business hub with large companies and small start-ups, a metropole of 20 million inhabitants, a meeting point of different cultures [and] a historical center where the paths of millennia-old civilizations converge.” reads the site.

Other Countries in Southern Europe Offering Digital Nomad Visas

Multiple European destinations have launched digital nomad visas targeting people who have freed themselves from 9-5 traditional jobs and boast a stable income of around $3,000 on average per month. Some of these countries include Greece, Italy, and Spain.

Greece

Apply for a Greek digital nomad visa at a consulate in your home country or for a work permit at the Aliens and Immigration Department in Greece.

Successful applicants are those who can present proof of online work-related activities indicating the type of business they focus on, corporate purpose, and a business address, along with evidence showing they make at least 3,500€ per month.

Other requirements include: 

• A letter declaring that you are not going to stay in the country after your visa expires.
• Proof of employment and income.
• A valid passport.
• Filling out and signing the Application Form.
• Rental contract or hotel booking.
• Travel Insurance.
• Clean criminal record certificate.
• Return flight ticket.
• Proof that you don’t have infectious diseases.

‍Italy

Designed for non-EU citizens “who carry out a highly qualified work activity with the use of technological tools capable of allowing them to work remotely, both as a worker self-employed or as a collaborator or employee of a company even if not resident in Italy,” says the government on its recently launched digital nomad visa.

Requirements include but are not limited to:

• Health insurance.
• Proof of accommodation for the length of your stay.
• Proof of income.

The visa is granted to those who can show “advanced technological means.” Nomads can be in the country for up to a year or renew their visas for a year more.

Spain

The Spanish digital nomad visa is meant for non-EU/EEA citizens as well as US, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada nationals. Those who have lived in the peninsula during the last five years are not eligible.

Requirements:

• Proof that you are an authentic remote worker.
• A college degree certificate or something that shows your expertise in your field.
• Proof that you have been working as a digital nomad for more than three months in a stable company or sector.

• Evidence that you earn €2,160 per month or more.
• Travel Insurance.
• Clean criminal records.
• Proof that you are willing to remain in Spain for no less than five years.

Before we go any further, we have to bring up the bad news – getting your Italian visa is not going to be easy and there will be several hoops to jump through. Not only will you need to show an annual income of at least three times the minimum level required for exemption from participation in Italian healthcare, around €28,000, but you will also need to buy an international healthcare plan for the one year that the visa covers. In addition, you will need to prove that you have been a digital worker for at least six months previously and show that you have suitable accommodation for the entire year of your stay. 

Before any visa is granted, you will also need to prove that you have not been convicted of a crime within the last five years and go to a valid Italian consulate and submit a declaration signed by their employer. The final hurdle? In order to obtain your visa, the Italian taxation office will need to speak to their equivalent in your country to ensure that you are tax-compliant.

Bottom line: in order to eat delicious Italian food on a daily basis, you are going to have to work for it! The great news is that Italy’s digital nomad visa is renewable and you can also bring your family, provided that you can get an all clear from Italy’s police headquarters.

Other countries offering digital nomad visas in the Mediterranean region

Not sure if you’ll be able to clear all of the bureaucratic hurdles and make Italy your new home? Have no fear—there are a number of other options in Europe that may be less of a headache.

While Spain also requires a lot of documents, they will let you apply directly from Spain and do not require proof of 12 months of accommodation, though requirements around proof of employment and payment of home country social security payments can be burdensome.

Greece offers another option. While it requires a higher monthly income of €3,200 per month and proof of accommodation, insurance, and a declaration letter from your employer, it also offers a 50% tax reduction program that you can apply for when you stay in Greece for a minimum of two years.

Malta just might be the easiest, with an income requirement of only €2,700 per month, an exemption from personal taxation for the one-year of visa validity, and English being one of Malta’s official languages. However, you will still need to show proof of accommodation, insurance, and provide a letter from your employer. 

While there are now a number of countries in Europe for digital nomads to call home, if Italy has always been your dream, then you can now make it a reality! It might be best to just hire a lawyer to help you clear the bureaucratic hurdles! Trust us, that pasta is going to taste even better when you know you did your part to earn it! As the Italians say, In bocca al lupo – good luck!

This latest entrant into the digital nomad visa fold, however, does not come without controversy. Draft regulations to South African Immigration Regulations were submitted to the public for feedback in February, but the finalized amendments that went into effect ended up being identical to the draft regulations. This prompted criticism that the Minister of Home Affairs did not take any public commentary into consideration.  

The new South African digital nomad visa, categorized as a visitor visa, may be issued for up to three years provided that the applicant works for a foreign employer and makes a minimum of ZAR 1 million ($53,600).

Critics of the new visa take issue with the fact that visa holders would not have to register with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) if their visa is for a period of less than six months within one year. Because this tax exemption is not covered under the current Income Tax Act (ITA), the law would need to be updated, prompting even more legal headaches.

Other issues include the treatment of digital nomads’ software products. Under new amendments to the South African Copyright Bill, universities and other institutions could copy software without paying the creators of these products. Finally, it remains unclear whether freelancers can apply for the digital nomad visa and whether the minimum annual salary requirement of ZAR 1 million is a net or gross amount. These are all important concerns and it seems that none of them were taken into account between the draft and the final laws put into effect.

Other Countries in Africa Offering Digital Nomad Visa

If South Africa’s new digital nomad visa issues seem like a lot to unpack or the required salary sounds too high, digital nomad visas from three other African countries are also available.

Cape Verde is the easiest digital nomad visa gateway to Africa, only requiring proof of a $1500 bank balance for the last six months along with passport and insurance documentation.

Mauritius, on the other hand, requires that applicants earn $1500 per month and come from a list of 114 countries.

Namibia is the third African country to offer a digital nomad visa, but you can only stay for six months and will need to earn $2,000 per month. 

With 54 countries in Africa and only four that currently have digital nomad visas, the continent of Africa is just getting started on the digital nomad scene but is sure to offer much more in the future. No matter which African country you choose, as we have seen with the concerns raised with the South African visa, it is important to do your homework and check with a tax representative to ensure that you are complying with the requirements and prepared for the implications of moving to a new country! And finally, we wonder: which African country will be next to welcome digital nomads?

The popular cruise line Virgen Vogages has launched the Scarlet Summer Season Pass, a travel pass that allows holders to book a month-long cruise trip across the Mediterranean Sea.

“If you’ve been wondering if your work-life balance could use a little more life, we have the voyage offer for you,” Virgin Voyages wrote in a statement. 

On board the Scarlet Lady ship, digital nomads and remote workers will have access not only to a pool of international like-minded people but also to perks such as free Wi-Fi, drip and espresso coffee, laundry services, and other WFH essentials.

Other benefits include straightforward dining and on-shore excursion reservations, a dedicated concierge, food service, non-alcoholic drinks and fitness classes, as well as access to luxury amenities reserved for exclusive guests.

If ready to engage in this adventure, purchase the pass for as little as $9,990 for two people. This represents a reduction of 30 percent when compared to regular cruise fares, according to the company.

Keep in mind that if you don’t have a travel partner you’ll need to pay the whole fee by yourself. In such a case, we recommend you consider more affordable alternatives.

Book your tickets to depart in June, July, August, or September on a vessel capable of hosting up to 2,700 guests.

Not The First Cruise For Digital Nomads

Location-independent workers will be glad to hear that this is not the only cruise company offering trips tailored to digital nomads and remote workers.

With the idea of “connecting with a global community and making friends for life,” Johannes Voelkner created the Nomad Cruise, the first and largest “Digital Nomad Conference,” over the Atlantic Sea, back in 2015.

Since then, this out-of-the-box business idea has become a collection of unforgettable trips, an ever-growing community, and unique entrepreneurial experiences.

Sailing on the Nomad Cruise means that you’ll be surrounded by more than 200 like-minded people who are also eager to teach, learn, connect, create and share outstanding experiences that’ll enrich your life both personally and professionally.

New Zealand is going through a significant review of its immigration laws, including its Accredited Employer Work Visa. This may be an opportunity to include a new digital nomad visa scheme, said Immigration Minister Erica Stanford.

Creating this visa for foreign workers is not a priority though, said the minister.

According to what is inferred from an extensive report by a local media outlet, The Post, one side aspect that New Zealand would be considering is taxes.

Countries like Indonesia are planning to offer a 5-year 0% tax for digital nomads. For its part, Thailand only taxes the money remote workers spend in the country but doesn’t touch nomads’ savings overseas, says PwC Consultant.

Deloitte tax partner Robyn Walker, says New Zealanders might not support the idea of offering nomads financial concessions.

“They [digital nomads] are driving on New Zealand roads and using other New Zealand resources so there’s a feeling they probably should contribute something,” Walker said. “People would probably need to come to New Zealand for more than tax reasons because they liked dolphins or mountains or Lord of the Rings or whatever,” she added. 

Walker considers that even enforcing the highest tax rate of 39%, it would still be competitive.

“Obviously, we’re in a global war for talent but we still want people who will be happy to pay their fair share,” she says.

Revenue Minister Simon Watts didn’t exactly confirm if reduced taxes would be part of the digital nomad visa scheme. He just said that he was “currently considering a range of tax policy options to increase productivity in our economy.”

But that’s an issue that he’ll need to address sooner or later. According to The Economist, it’s expected that digital nomads will reach a billion by 2035.

Which Countries Have the Best Digital Nomad Visas?

More than 40 countries are offering visas for digital nomads. Most of them entice this demographic with a high quality of life, diverse cultures and stunning landscapes.

Spain, Argentina, and Romania have also stood out for offering tax incentives or even tax-free periods, high speed internet, and outstanding healthcare, according to the World Digital Nomad Index. Let’s delve into each of them.

 Spain

With an impressive score of 4.50 points, Spain has been designated as the most sought-after destination for digital nomads in 2024.

Environmental, social, and technological factors like Mediterranean weather, quality of life, high-speed internet and low crime rates have picked up the attention of digital workers around the world.

In return, the government provides them with straightforward access to digital nomad visas and the possibility to create new start-ups in a matter of hours. How to apply.

• You can either apply through the Spanish consulate back in your country or do it once in the territory. In the first case, you’ll obtain a 1-year visa that can be changed for a 3-year residence card. In the second, apply while in the country and receive a 3-year residence permit.
• Income required: €2,646.
• Application fee: around US $110.
• Processing time: 15–45 days.
• Tax-Free Period: 6 months.
• Taxes: 15% for the first 4 years and then 24%.

Argentina 

Argentina’s capital, the beloved Buenos Aires, is a melting pot that lures digital nomads from around the world. 

With world-class cuisine, traditional tango music, endless accommodations to choose from, high-speed internet, zero income taxes, and a score of 3,78, Argentina’s become the second-best option for remote workers. How to apply for Argentina’s digital nomad visa.

• From your home country, submit the following documents: a valid passport, a 4×4 photo, a request indicating your work activities and proof of at least one of them, educational level, and the visa processing receipt.
• Income required: around US $2,750.
• Application fee: $ 200.
• Length of the visa: 180 days, which can be extended to another 180 days.
• Processing time: it varies depending on multiple factors. Check it out with your consulate.

Romania 

In third place, we find Romania with 3.74 points. Bucharest, Cluj, and Timisoara are increasingly recognized as international digital nomad hotspots.

This country not only offers an outstanding quality of life but also 0% income tax. How to apply for Romania’s digital nomad visa.

• Applying for this visa is possible from your home country’s embassy or online at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
• Application fee: $ 165.
• Processing time: 10–14 days.
• Length of the visa: 1 year, which can be extended to 2 years.
• Income required: US $3,630.

So much for “If you build it, they will come.” Why even build it if you’re going to keep the doors locked? Japan, which just launched its digital nomad visa program, also has strict income requirements, asking applicants to earn about $5,530 per month. It is too early to gauge how popular Japan’s program will be, though it would not be surprising to see similar results to its East Asian neighbor.

Due to lower average incomes in other parts of the world, the required monthly salary to apply for a digital nomad visa is much lower.  According to Freelancermap, in Finland, you only need to make 25% of the Korean requirements – $1,315 per month. In Spain, you need roughly 2,500 per month, and in flashy Dubai, you only need to make $3,500 per month, all considerably cheaper than South Korea. 

The high income requirements imposed by South Korea make one question the ultimate value of jumping through the hoops to get a workation visa. If the F-1-D only grants you one year in the country, with the option to extend for two, would it be better to stay for three 90-day stints in the country if you won’t receive any questions for doing so? Sure, you can’t register a phone number or buy tickets online without a resident card in South Korea, but is that really worth being required to work on an employment contract and maintain a certain salary to live there for the full year?

The UK may have a better solution for attracting remote workers: make them feel at home with only a stamp in their passport. In December 2023, they updated their immigration policy. Travelers to the UK can now work remotely, provided it’s not the main reason for their visit. The remote work includes taking business calls, participating in remote meetings, and email correspondence.

In the end, South Korea may attract more tourist dollars by doing away with the workation visa altogether. Would it be better to extend the period of stay to six months for visitors and relax the rules around remote work? We will just have to wait and see what the South Korean government decides after it analyzes the data. 

For the freelancers working online who dream of living there, the land of cosmetics, K-pop, and kimchi will have to wait…for now.

The impact of the digital nomads is seen as twofold: not only have they been welcomed in through various tax incentives including the Non-Habitual Residence (NHR) program, allowing them to pay lower tax rates than the locals, but they have also helped to drive up the rent prices in Lisbon by more than 37% in 2022 alone, according to the Portugal News. Add in the fact that high-wealth individuals, some of whom also continue to work remotely, were able to buy property in Portugal’s two largest cities in exchange for golden visas from 2011-2022, and it’s easy to point the finger at digital nomads for higher prices. But are they really to blame? 

According to Politico, 16,000 digital nomads were living in Lisbon last year, a city with a population of 3 million in 2023. This is roughly .5% of total Lisbon residents. Digital nomads, according to Gonçalo Hall, comprise only .1% of the total tourism numbers in Portugal, which also reached record numbers in 2023 with 30 million visitors to the country, as reported by the European Travel Information and Authorization System. 

In the meantime, open EU borders allow local Portuguese to become nomadic themselves and go where they can be paid best. They may get location-based work in other EU countries or find remote work and choose to work around the world. At the same time, EU citizens looking for better weather and the chance to live near the beach can move to Portugal with very little paperwork, and many could qualify for the reduced NHR tax rate before this tax benefit closed at the end of 2023.

For example, although German citizens are paid in the same currency, the fact that German wages are much higher allow Germans to afford higher rent in Lisbon, and landlords are happy to charge higher rents if there are no legal controls against it. In fact, it was only recently, in 2023, that the Portuguese government moved to put in rent increase controls, but this only applied to new lease contracts that succeeded contracts signed in the last five years. New housing going up for rent or those being leased for the first time can be set to any rent that the landlord chooses. 

When you travel around Lisbon in 2024, what becomes immediately apparent is the number of abandoned buildings right next door to new construction. Seemingly half of central Lisbon is under construction, but often the sign under the new construction promises expensive new apartments or fancy hotels, not any place that a hard-working middle-class Portuguese family could afford.

It’s easy to blame digital nomads for a cost of living crisis that stems from a whole range of issues.

If you want to keep the Portuguese in Portugal, start with using a portion of the money coming from tourism to increase the local wages, cap more of the rents, and give landlords incentives to rent to people with Portugal-based employers. Only then can the tide truly start to turn.

Digital nomad visas are now available in more than 60 countries around the world, and, for many remote workers, these visas are the easiest way to legally reside in a country if you meet the requirements. Most digital nomad visas offer the chance to stay for up to one year, with many offering the chance to extend your stay if you continue to meet income requirements and pay for your own private medical insurance.

When it comes to choosing the best digital nomad visa, the sweet spot is finding one that also exempts you from paying taxes. After comparing a wide range of digital nomad visas, we’ve identified five digital nomad visas in 2024 that stand out for their appealing combination of beautiful nature, cheap application fees, and, most importantly, zero taxes: Georgia, Anguilla, Bermuda, Croatia, and Costa Rica.  

Anguilla

Have you always wanted to live the island life? Half a world away from Georgia, Anguilla, a British territory in the Caribbean, gives digital nomad visa holders the chance to start their day with a walk on the beach before…doing nothing at all. That’s right, Anguilla has no income requirements and won’t make you pay any taxes while you are on its 12-month digital nomad visa.

All you need to provide is your passport, birth certificate, and a description of the work you will be doing while you are in Anguilla. The one catch? You will need to pay a one-time $2000 entry fee and pay even more if you want to bring family members. The cost of living also isn’t so cheap. Despite the simple visa application requirements, the high fee may be a deal-breaker.

Bermuda

If the costs of applying for the digital nomad visa in Anguilla do not sound so enticing, Bermuda may be your island of choice – especially as it is known for its fast internet speeds.

Although it also has a high cost of living, it has one of the lowest visa application fees in the Caribbean – at only $263. You will need to pay this fee again if you decide to renew your visa after one year. Like Anguilla, Bermuda has no income requirements and won’t make you pay any taxes. You only need to show a clean criminal record, a passport, and proof of employment to enter an educational institution. Bermuda will also offer you a sweet bonus of a $200 customs allowance each time you enter the country. 

Croatia

Moving back over to Europe, Croatia presents an intriguing mix of history and culture with a lower cost of living compared to many of its European neighbors. It also became part of the Schengen Zone at the beginning of 2023, making travel to other European countries much easier.

The income requirement is $2,500 per month or you can prove that you have $31,000 in savings. The digital nomad visa is good for 12 months and will not require to pay any taxes if you earn your income from a non-Croatian company. However, once the 12 months run out, you will need to leave the country and wait six months before you can reapply for the visa. In other words, stay for 12 months and then it may be time to apply for a new country’s digital nomad visa.  

Costa Rica

Similar to Croatia, Costa Rica will not require you to pay any taxes for 12 months on your income if you earn it from a company outside of the country. The income requirements, however, are higher at $3,000 per month, and this must be earned consistently.

This may require setting up a company from which you will be able to pay yourself. The visa application fee is only $100 and the cost of living is slightly lower than its neighbors in the Caribbean. For the incredible biodiversity, surfing opportunities, and security within the country, it might be well worth the effort!

Georgia

The word about Georgia is spreading amongst the digital nomad community, and it offers one of the most generous immigration policies in the world. Ninety-eight different countries can stay in Georgia for one year without a visa.

In order to meet the digital nomad requirements, you will need to prove that you make at least $2000 per month. Alternatively, you can show that you have $24,000 in your bank account. If you move to Georgia, you won’t be subject to any taxes for the first 180 days. After that, the top tax rate is 20% and if you receive “Small Business Status,” you will only be responsible for 1% tax for if you earn less than $184,000 per year. Georgia’s capital, Tbisili, is a dynamic, efficient place to do business and the surrounding wine country of Signagi and mountain towns such as Kazbegi provide great places to escape into nature.

The type of passport that you hold can have a big effect on your ease of travel. For example, some passports allow you to enter up to 194 countries visa-free, and some as low as 30. In this article, we’ll explore which passport is the best aka strongest for digital nomads.

To help determine the relative strength of a passport, different rating systems have been used.

Henley Passport Index

Since 2005, the Henley Passport Index has given the highest passport ratings to countries that allow their citizens to cross borders without requiring a visa. Points are also granted if passport holders receive a visa on arrival, electronic travel authority, or a visitor’s permit.

After checking the most recent data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), six countries with visa-free access to 194 countries were awarded 1st place in 2024: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and Spain. But is visa-free access to countries the only thing to compare when ranking the best passports?

Nomad Passport Index

The Nomad Capitalist created the Nomad Passport Index in 2017, and five components make up the total index score. Visa-free travel comprises 50%, taxation (20%), personal freedom (10%), global perception (10%), and the ability to hold dual citizenship receives 10%. After these additional factors were considered, one country emerged as the winner: Switzerland.

“With Switzerland standing out as the world’s best passport in 2024, our Nomad Passport Index shows global citizens how to open their lives to new opportunities, enhancing their freedom to travel, work, and do business with peace of mind in a volatile world,” says Natalia Rincón, Nomad Capitalist researches

Europe fared well overall, taking 8 of the top 10 spots on the Nomad Passport Index. Ireland and Portugal came in second and third, respectively, followed by Luxembourg and Finland. The UAE, the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, and New Zealand rounded up the Top 10, with all of these countries providing excellent options for both visa-free travel and a good reputation on the global scene.

Switzerland Also Dominates Other Popular Global Rankings

Not only is Switzerland in the heart of Europe and considered one of the safest countries in the world, according to the Berkshire Hathaway State of Travel Insurance report but it is also blessed with beautiful nature and a high standard of living—all fantastic things to take into consideration when considering citizenship. The U.S. News and World Report also placed Switzerland atop its rankings of best countries in the world in 2023, citing its low corruption, safety, and economic stability.

Consider Obtaining A Stronger Passport

If you don’t yet hold a strong passport, it may be worth considering how to obtain one through a digital nomad visa route, such as those offered by Spain and Portugal, or a golden visa, which, in Portugal’s case, requires a financial investment in the arts or Portugal’s cultural heritage starting at around 200,000 €.

Whether we like it or not, the passport we hold matters when it comes to feeling a sense of global freedom and opportunity. For 2024, Switzerland, with its blend of stunning vistas, security, strong currency, and visa-free opportunities, is the best passport to hold for digital nomads.
