Who this is for
Remote workers and freelancers who want a legal base in Europe
A digital nomad visa lets remote workers legally live in a European country while employed by a company based elsewhere — or while earning through their own location-independent business. More and more European countries now offer some form of this route, recognising the value of bringing remote earners into the local economy. The appeal is real: you gain lawful residence, often with tax advantages, and a stable base from which to travel the Schengen area, instead of cycling through tourist visas. The conditions, however, are specific and vary widely between countries — most require a minimum monthly income from remote sources, valid health insurance, a clean criminal record, and proof that your work is genuinely remote and not competing in the local labour market. Some schemes are aimed at employees, others at freelancers, and tax treatment differs too. We match you, free of charge, with a lawyer who handles digital nomad visa applications in your target country, so your remote income and tax position are structured correctly from the outset.
Why nomad applications stall
Your work is portable — the paperwork still has to be precise.
And every country sets different bars.
Minimum-income proof, remote-work evidence and tax questions trip up applicants who assume one country’s rules apply everywhere.
Proving remote income
Most nomad visas require proof of a minimum monthly income earned from sources outside the country. Assembling contracts, invoices and bank records that satisfy the local standard is where many applications fail.
Rules that differ by country
Some schemes target employees, others freelancers or business owners, and income thresholds and tax treatment vary widely. Applying the wrong country’s rules leads to a refusal.
Tax and social security
Living in one country while working for a company in another raises tax and social security questions. Getting the structure wrong can create unexpected liabilities later.

Frequently asked
Digital nomad visas — common questions
What is a digital nomad visa?
A digital nomad visa is a residence permit that lets remote workers live legally in a country while employed by, or earning from, clients and companies based abroad. It is distinct from a tourist visa, which does not authorise work or long-term stay.
Which European countries offer digital nomad visas?
A growing number of European countries offer some form of nomad or remote-worker visa, including several southern and eastern member states, though the schemes, income thresholds and conditions differ markedly. A lawyer can confirm which countries fit your situation.
What income do I need for a digital nomad visa?
Most schemes set a minimum monthly income that must come from remote, foreign sources, and the amount varies by country — sometimes also by family size. You will need to document this income with contracts, invoices and bank records.
Can freelancers and business owners apply, or only employees?
It depends on the country. Some schemes are open only to employees of foreign companies, while others welcome freelancers, contractors and business owners. A lawyer can tell you which schemes accept your working arrangement.
Will I pay tax in the country I move to?
Possibly. Residing in a country while earning abroad can create tax and social security obligations there, and the treatment varies by country and by any tax treaties. A lawyer can clarify your position and coordinate with tax specialists before you move.
Can a digital nomad visa lead to permanent residence?
In some countries years spent on a nomad visa may count toward permanent or long-term residence, but the rules vary and some schemes are explicitly temporary. A lawyer can explain the long-term options for your target country.
