What are the benefits of getting a digital nomad visa?
A digital nomad visa refers to a type of visa that permits remote workers to live in another country while working for a business based outside of that country.
Eligibility varies by country but often includes proof of remote employment, a minimum income threshold, valid health insurance, and a clean criminal record. Applicants typically must show they work for a non-local employer and will not compete in the host country’s labor market.
These global mobility visas enable longer stays abroad for remote employees. Most are valid for six months to two years, depending on the country. Renewal is an option for some, while others require employees to leave and reapply after the initial term ends.
A digital nomad visa allows remote workers to stay legally in a country while working online, providing stability and access to local services. Businesses benefit from a larger talent pool across borders and higher employee satisfaction, which can give them a competitive edge and help with their workforce planning.
