Self-Employment Residence Permit (remote work)
Finland has no dedicated digital nomad visa. Non-EU remote workers relocate via the residence permit for self-employment (or the startup permit), which lets you work for your own business/foreign clients from Finland. Applicants must show a secured income (around EUR 1,210/month); confirm the current figure with Migri.

The catch

- Tax isn't the draw. Headline personal tax sits around 30% — this isn't a low-tax move.
