Remote Worker Visas

Remote worker visas are special types of visas that allow individuals to live in a foreign country while working remotely for an employer or clients located in another country. These visas are becoming more popular as remote work continues to grow in various industries. Countries offering such visas often provide an opportunity for remote workers to stay for extended periods, with the possibility of working legally while enjoying the culture and lifestyle of the destination.

Here are some examples of countries offering remote worker visas:

  • Estonia offers a Digital Nomad Visa, allowing remote workers to stay in the country for up to one year (with the possibility of renewal) while working for foreign employers or clients.

These visas typically have specific requirements, such as proof of remote employment, a minimum income threshold, and health insurance coverage. They’re designed to attract remote workers who can contribute to the local economy by spending money on accommodation, food, and other services.

If you're interested in one of these visas, it's essential to check the specific country’s guidelines and requirements, as they may change over time. Would you like more information about a particular country's remote work visa programme?
