🇪🇸 Spain Digital Nomad Visa

Spain has introduced a digital nomad visa that has been long-awaited by many. Remote work has become increasingly popular over the last few years, and Spain has been a popular destination for digital nomads. According to InterNations ranking, Valencia was voted the best city for expats in the world, and Madrid was the 5th. Furthermore, Gran Canaria and Tenerife on the Canary Islands have been the preferred destinations for digital nomads due to their warm weather and natural beauty.

The digital nomad visa allows non-EU citizens to reside and work remotely in Spain legally.

The eligibility requirements for the visa include a university degree or three years of professional experience.

🇭🇷 Croatia Digital Nomad Visa

Croatia has recently been growing in popularity among nomads due to its gorgeous seaside towns and affordable living costs, and so has decided to offer “temporary residency” to digital nomads.

Although this is not technically a digital nomad visa as such, it works in a very similar way, and is perhaps even more beneficial to the holder in some ways, as you are able to bring family members along with you.

The residency lasts from six months to a year, but does not give the option for renewal. You are allowed to re-apply for the same residency later on, but only after leaving the country for 90 days.

Once again, you must not be working within the Republic of Croatia, but rather be employed outside of the country and simply conducting your work there remotely.

🇪🇪 Estonia Digital Nomad Visa

Unlike other countries, Estonia didn’t implement a Digital Nomad Visa in response to the remote work opportunities from the COVID-19 pandemic. They had actually been planning it for around two years!

If you want to visit an exotic country, check out the wonders of Estonia with its digital nomad program.

The country saw that a lot of people wanted to work remotely even before the pandemic arrived, basing it on a survey they commissioned. The survey revealed that over 50% of those surveyed would live abroad if they had the ability to work remotely. Commonly-cited reasons include the lower cost of living and more cultural experiences in new territories. (https://e-resident.gov.ee/nomadvisa/)

Besides this, the government already expected people already work remotely using tourist visas. To apply for the digital nomad visa, you must submit these requirements:

• Application and payment for the digital nomad visa
• Proof of health insurance
• Proof that you have at least €3,504 (or $4,180) monthly income in the past six months

🇬🇪 Georgia Digital Nomad Visa

Georgia has also seen the rise of digital nomads entering their country, and they have announced the similar programs other countries have, welcoming remote workers. The country is implementing this program to attract highly-skilled international workers who can contribute to taxes.

The program is still in the works, but it will hopefully roll out in the next few months, so you can start eyeing Georgia in the future. Follow Georgia’s official consul website to learn more and find out when the program is open. But with that in mind, there have been digital nomads saying that the 1-year tourist visa is a more affordable option, which you can apply for now without the taxes.

That’s why it’s best to do your research for now and find out the exact visa prices of the future program to weigh your pros and cons. You may be able to save more with a long-term tourist visa, though this depends on your expertise, as you may require a working visa to perform some specialized tasks or do business with others.

🇵🇹 Portugal Digital Nomad Visa

Although Portugal does have options for digital nomads, the definition of digital nomad in this case is probably closer to remote worker, as freelancers with several clients may not be eligible to apply.

To be eligible for Portugal’s residency visa, also known as the D7 visa, you will need to prove that you have a permanent employment contract, and that you have been in that role for the past year prior to your application. On top of that, you’ll need to be earning at least €700 per month. Your application is also much more likely to succeed if you have additional savings or passive income.

If you simply want to visit Portugal, you can do so under one of their other short-term visas, but note that you are not technically allowed to make money under regular tourist visas.

🇭🇺 Hungary Digital Nomad Visa

Hungary is another European country offering a one-year visa, and is one of the easier ones to obtain, given its lower income requirements.

Hungary’s digital nomad visa is called the White Card, and was launched late 2021. It is actually a residence permit, and allows the holder to stay in the country for one year, but may be extended for a further year on successful application.

The White Card is primarily aimed at “singles under 40”, so couples and families are not eligible to apply.

The cost of the visa is €110 (EUR), and requires you to make an income of €2,000 (EUR) per month. You must also be able to prove that you have been making this much in the six months prior to your application.

Given the lower barrier to entry, Hungary makes for a perfect destination for digital nomads looking to experience Budapest and the beauty of the country alongside some of the fastest internet speeds in Europe!

🇷🇴 Romania Digital Nomad Visa

Romania has recently announced their new visa for digital nomads. The visa is called the “long-stay visa for other purposes”, which allows the visa holder to stay in the country for one year, with the possibility to renew for one further year.

In order to apply for Romania’s digital nomad visa, you must be earning your income from outside of Romania. That income must amount to 3x Romania’s average monthly income for the duration of your stay, and should be the case for the 6 months leading up to your application. Right now, the average is at 6,095 LEI, so you would have to be earning around $4,170 (USD) per month. Of course, this is subject to change as the average income fluctuates.

While this income limit is lower than that of Dubai’s, for example, there are certainly countries with more lenient salary requirements, so don’t despair if you’re not quite there yet.
