What is a Digital nomad visa?

A digital nomad can be known as someone who works remotely while traveling and residing in various locations, only with a laptop and a stable internet connection to carry out the work activities. Digital nomad visas were introduced to give freelancers and digital nomads the legal right to travel freely and work remotely.

 

A digital nomad visa is an official document or visa that allows remote workers to work remotely in a foreign country. It is a temporary visa that facilitates remote workers to reside and work in a place for a specific period, usually for a maximum of 6 -12 months. The digital nomad visa, also known as a freelance visa, remote working visa, or self-employment visa, can be extended, depending on the type of country and the digital nomad visa. Over 50 digital nomad visas are available, each with different eligibility and requirements.
