Documents for obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa
Today, more and more professions are going remote. IT specialists, marketers, consultants, designers, and other professionals can now work from anywhere with just a laptop and an internet connection.
The Digital Nomad Visa was created for such individuals. This is a special visa that allows you to legally live abroad while working remotely for foreign clients or growing your own business, all while enjoying the rights of a resident in the host country.
What is a Digital Nomad Visa?
A Digital Nomad Visa is a special type of residence permit that allows foreign nationals to legally live and work remotely in a chosen country. This freelance visa and visa for remote professionals is typically issued for a period ranging from 6 months to 3 years, most commonly up to 1 year, with the option to extend if needed.
Its key feature is that it’s specifically designed for individuals whose work is not tied to a specific physical location.
Many countries have introduced such programs to attract skilled professionals and stimulate their economies. For instance, Spain, Portugal, and Croatia have been actively welcoming Digital Nomad Visa applicants for several years now.

Who is the Digital Nomad Visa for?
Our digital nomad visa service is ideal for those who want to work remotely and legally while maintaining a stable income after relocating abroad:
- Freelancers and remote professionals – if you work under contracts or through freelance platforms and receive a steady income.
- Employees of international companies – if your job is fully remote and can be done from anywhere.
Moreover, the visa for IT specialists and freelancers is also essential for those who want to improve their quality of life, optimize taxes, or explore new opportunities for travel and career growth.
Is the Digital Nomad Visa suitable for those planning to relocate with their family?
Absolutely. Most countries allow you to include your spouse and children in the application.
Benefits of Getting a Digital Nomad Visa
A Digital Nomad Visa not only allows you to work remotely on a legal basis — it also makes life in a new country much easier for you and your family. Here’s what it offers:
- Legal residence in another country for the duration of the visa, with no need to rely on alternative or unclear stay options.
- Family reunification – most countries allow you to include family members in your application.
- Tax optimization – some jurisdictions offer favorable tax regimes for digital nomads.
- Banking and financial services – opening bank accounts, renting housing, and getting insurance become much easier.
- Pathway to future immigration – in certain countries, a digital nomad visa can be the first step toward permanent residency.
- Improved quality of life – live in countries with a pleasant climate, affordable healthcare, and well-developed infrastructure.
Document Requirements for a Digital Nomad Visa
While the exact list of documents may vary by country, most jurisdictions have similar core requirements:
- Valid international passport with at least 6–12 months of remaining validity.
- Proof of income – bank statements, contracts with foreign clients, or salary slips. Most countries require a minimum monthly income of €2,000 to €4,000.
- Criminal record certificate, translated and legalized.
- Health insurance that covers your entire stay in the chosen country.
- Proof of accommodation — such as a rental agreement or other housing confirmation.

Who Can Apply: Eligibility Criteria for a Digital Nomad Visa
The main requirement for digital nomads is having a stable remote income. Most countries require proof of a minimum monthly income ranging from €2,000 to €4,000, depending on the jurisdiction. It’s important to note that this income must come from a foreign employer or clients, not from within the country where you’re applying.
Key criteria include:
-
You work remotely as a freelancer, contractor, or full-time employee of a foreign company.
-
Business owners can also apply, provided their company is registered abroad and their income is properly documented.
-
You have valid health insurance and proof of accommodation (e.g., rental agreement).
-
You have no criminal record and comply with immigration regulations.
How long does it take to process a Digital Nomad Visa?
Processing times vary depending on the country and the method of application. In some countries, decisions are made within 2–3 weeks, while in others it may take up to 2 months or longer. Submitting your application online can often speed up the process, as long as all documents are in order.
For example, Spain typically processes Digital Nomad Visa applications in about one month.
Countries That Offer a Freelance Visa
Today, over 50 countries offer digital nomad visa programs, each with its own requirements for income, length of stay, and tax policies.
Most popular destinations include:
-
Europe: Spain, Portugal, Estonia, Latvia, Croatia, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Montenegro, Georgia, and others.

Asia and the Middle East: UAE (Dubai Remote Work Visa), Thailand, Indonesia (Bali Digital Nomad Visa).
How to Choose a Country for Your Digital Nomad Visa
At first glance, choosing a country for a Digital Nomad Visa might seem simple — climate, language, quality of life. But for a digital nomad, it’s essential to look beyond the vibe and consider the practical conditions for living and working remotely.
Fast, reliable internet, access to coworking spaces, and communities where you can connect and share experiences are critical for staying productive. Financial factors matter too, such as income requirements, favorable tax conditions, and access to banking services.
If you’re relocating with family, it’s important to check whether you can include your spouse or children in the application, and whether the country offers access to schools, childcare, and safe infrastructure. Equally important are the legal and long-term aspects: visa duration, renewal options, and the potential pathway to permanent residency.
For example, Spain is attractive for its option to obtain temporary residency for up to 5 years and the ability to relocate with your family. Croatia offers one of the most favorable tax regimes, while Portugal is known for its mild climate and affordable healthcare.
Choosing the right country on your own can be challenging, as there are dozens of factors to consider. That’s why we offer an initial consultation to help you select a country that fits your lifestyle, remote work setup, and family needs.
We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we help you find the country that’s right for you, and explain who the Digital Nomad Visa is suitable for and when it might be better to explore other options.

Answers to frequently asked questions
Can I relocate with my family?
Yes, most countries allow you to apply not only for yourself but also for your family members. For example, in Portugal or Spain, you can include your spouse and children in the application. In this case, you’ll need to prove a higher level of income to show that you can financially support your family during your stay.
Do I have to pay taxes in another country after getting a Digital Nomad Visa?
Whether you need to pay taxes as a digital nomad depends on the country’s laws. For example, in Spain, digital nomads can benefit from a reduced tax regime for the first six years. In Croatia, holders of a Digital Nomad Visa are exempt from local taxes on foreign income. It’s also important to consider double taxation agreements between Ukraine and the country in question. We always review this aspect during your consultation to ensure you understand your tax obligations.
Can I apply for a freelance visa remotely?
In many countries, you can submit your application entirely online. In other cases, documents must be submitted through the consulate in your country of residence. Sometimes, in-person attendance is required for biometric data collection or an interview.
Can I later obtain permanent residency or citizenship?
In some countries, a Digital Nomad Visa can be the first step toward long-term residency. For example, in Portugal, the visa can lead to a 2-year temporary residence permit. In Spain, there are also legal pathways to transition from a Digital Nomad Visa to a residence permit initially for three years, with the option to extend for another two.
