Countries with Nomad Visas

The rise of remote-working people has increased over the past years, and many countries hope to benefit from the new form of tourism by issuing digital nomad visas. This new type of visa allows you to stay in a country longer than the average tourist visa.

This list includes only those countries with dedicated digital nomad visas. More countries offer long-term visas, often called digital nomad visas, but they are retirement visas or other types of visas.
