Work remotely from anywhere — legally. These visas are designed for remote workers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who earn income from outside the host country. Most require proof of remote income and health insurance.
Digital nomad visas (DNVs) are a new category of visa introduced since 2020 by countries competing for remote workers. They typically allow 1-2 years of legal residency with the right to work remotely for foreign employers or clients. Most do not tax your foreign-sourced income — making them a powerful tax planning tool, not just a lifestyle choice.
Most DNVs exempt foreign income from local tax
