Digital Nomad Visas
Work remotely from anywhere in the world
Digital nomad visas allow remote workers to live and work legally in a foreign country. These visas typically require proof of remote employment or freelance income, health insurance, and sometimes a minimum income threshold. More countries are introducing these visas as remote work becomes mainstream.
