Frequently asked questions

What's a digital nomad visa?

A digital-nomad visa is a 1–5 year residency permit for remote workers or passive-income recipients who want to live in a country without taking local employment. Unlike tourist visas (30–90 days), DN visas allow long-term legal stay with formal residency status. Common examples: Portugal D8, Spain DNV, Thailand DTV/LTR, Mexico Temporary Resident, Panama Pensionado, Estonia DN Visa.

DN visa vs retirement visa vs tourist visa — which do I need?

If you're actively working remotely for a foreign employer: DN visa (Portugal D8, Spain DNV, Estonia). If you're living off pensions or investment income: retirement/passive-income visa (Portugal D7, Panama Pensionado, Thailand LTR, Mexico Temporary Resident). For short visits under 90 days: tourist visa or visa-free access is usually sufficient.

Where does this data come from?

Each country record is built from public sources — government immigration pages, professional-services immigration and tax write-ups, and reputable expat reporting — and cites at least one source URL with an access date. Visa programs change frequently; this tracker was last refreshed on 2026-04-19. Always cross-check with the official government immigration site before applying.

Do DN visas make you a tax resident?

Usually yes, if you spend 183+ days in the country per year. Some countries (Barbados Welcome Stamp, UAE) offer favorable tax treatment for DN-visa holders. Others tax worldwide income at standard rates. See our Global Tax Regime Map for country-level tax context.

Which DN visa has the lowest income requirement?

Historically: Panama Pensionado ($12K/year pension) and Portugal D7 (~$12K/year passive income). Among full DN visas for remote workers, Estonia and Georgia are known for lower bars. Eligibility also depends on your passport — US/EU/UK citizens generally have broader access.
