What Is a Digital Nomad Visa? Requirements and Countries Where You Can Apply 

 

The way we work is changing and so is where we work from. Welcome to Fragomen’s Digital Nomad Visa series, where we explore a growing trend that’s reshaping the global workforce: remote work across borders. 

If you’re a remote worker looking to live abroad without changing employers, a digital nomad visa might be your next big move. Here's what you need to know. 

What Is a Digital Nomad Visa? 

A digital nomad visa is a residence permit that allows remote workers to live in a country other than the one where their employer or business is based. These visas are designed for professionals who work online and want the freedom to travel or live in another country legally and long-term. 

As more countries embrace remote work, they’ve introduced digital nomad programs to: 

      • Attract skilled professionals 
      • Boost local economies 
      • Diversify talent pools 

For digital nomads, these visas offer the chance to live and work from inspiring global locations—legally and with peace of mind. 

Which Countries Offer Digital Nomad Visas? 

The list of destinations is growing fast. Popular countries offering digital nomad visas—or pathways that work for remote workers—include: 

      • UAE 
      • Thailand 
      • Brazil 
      • Mexico 
      • Germany 
      • France 
      • Greece 

*Please note some countries do not offer an official "digital nomad visa," rather they have other options that work well for remote workers.

And that’s just the beginning. Many more countries are rolling out their own versions to welcome remote workers. 

What Are the Requirements for a Digital Nomad Visa? 

While each country has its own process, typical digital nomad visa requirements include: 

      • Proof of employment or self-employment 
      • Minimum income threshold 
      • Valid health insurance 
      • Clean criminal record 
      • Proof of accommodation (in some cases) 
      • Payment of local taxes (depending on the destination) 

Before applying, always check the specific rules for your chosen country. You can also explore our country-specific guides for more detailed breakdowns. 

Why Use Fragomen for Your Digital Nomad Visa? 

Understanding visa applications can be time-consuming and complex. That’s where Fragomen comes in. We support digital nomads by providing:
