Compare digital nomad visas
All 53 programmes we track, side by side — income requirement, application fee, how long a single stay lasts, whether the country taxes foreign-earned income, and whether the visa leads to permanent residency.
A dash means the government doesn't publish that figure, not that the answer is no. “Varies” means it is published, but each embassy sets it in its own currency, so there is no single number to quote. Closed and never-opened programmes stay listed — knowing a visa isn't available is worth as much as knowing it is — but they sort below every open one. Every row links to the full country page, where the caveats live.

How to read this table
Income is the main applicant's requirement, converted to US dollars for comparison, with the government's own published figure underneath where we have it — that second number is the one a consulate actually checks. Max stay is a single grant, not the total: several programmes renew well beyond it, and a few can't be renewed at all. Foreign income is whether the country taxes money you earn from abroad once you're tax resident there — it says nothing about what your home country will want. Residency path is whether time on this visa counts toward permanent residency.
The country pages carry the parts a table can't hold: cooling-off periods, presence requirements, whether a spouse may work, and the several cases where reputable sources contradict each other and we've said so rather than picked one. How we verify this.
