There were
an estimated 35 million Digital Nomads globally by mid-2025, remote workers who are seeing the world, earning good incomes, and living their
dream. Over 70 countries offer some form of a digital
nomad visa, with different entry requirements, income
thresholds, length of stay, and visa fees.
A digital
nomad visa can be defined as a temporary residence permit that allows a remote
worker who uses technology, such as a laptop, tablet, smartphone, with a
reliable internet connection, to legally earn income from anywhere in the world
while away from their normal country of residence. This involves co-working hubs, online communities, support networking,
and collaboration. Instead of being tied to a single office, city or country, Digital
Nomads have a lifestyle that blends work with a mobile, global experience,
often moving frequently between countries or regions, staying weeks, months, and
even years.
To be approved for a visa, applicants will have
to prove a stable amount of income, health insurance, reserved accommodation, evidence
of the technological means to support remote work, and then pay an application
fee.
