FAQs

What is a Digital Nomad Visa?+

A legal permit that allows remote workers to live in a foreign country while earning income from employers or clients located abroad.

What's the difference between a Visa and Residency?+

A visa is an entry permit or short-term stay, while residency is a long-term status that allows you to establish a legal home.

Can I work remotely on a Tourist Visa?+

Generally no. Most countries strictly prohibit any form of work, including remote work, on a standard tourist visa. Doing so can breach local immigration laws.

Does a Visa automatically make me a Tax Resident?+

No. Holding a visa allows you to stay, but tax residency is usually determined separately by local physical presence rules and double tax treaties.

Can I usually renew a Digital Nomad Visa?+

Yes. Most digital nomad visas are temporary but offer clear pathways for consecutive renewals if you maintain the initial income and paperwork requirements.

Can I travel while holding a Digital Nomad Visa?+

Yes. If the country belongs to the Schengen zone, you can travel freely across member states for up to 90 days within a rolling 180-day window.
