Digital Nomad Visa

The Philippines Digital Nomad Visa (DNV), established under Executive Order No. 86 in 2025, allows qualified foreign remote workers to live and work in the Philippines for up to two years. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, prove remote employment using digital technology, demonstrate minimum annual income of approximately $24,000 from foreign sources, hold valid health insurance, and have a clean criminal record. The visa is valid for 12 months and renewable once for an additional 12 months. DNV holders receive multiple-entry privileges but cannot engage in local employment. Importantly, digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents, meaning they only pay taxes at source and owe no local Philippine taxes. Applications are processed through an online e-visa platform with 4-6 week processing times.
