Frequently asked questions
- How many countries can my passport enter visa-free?
- The Passport Power tab ranks 41 major passports by visa-free access (visa-free + visa-on-arrival + eTA) among all 199 worldwide — the strongest here (🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates) opens 168 destinations without arranging a visa first.
- What is a digital nomad visa?
- A residence permit that lets you live in a country while working remotely for foreign employers or clients — legalizing what tourist visas technically don't allow. Most run 6–24 months; some renew or lead to permanent residency.
- How much income do I need for a nomad visa?
- It ranges from no formal floor (e.g. Uruguay) to $5,000+ per month. Most European programs sit between $2,500 and $4,500 monthly. Enter your income and the matcher shows exactly which countries you qualify for.
- Does bringing a partner or kids change what I qualify for?
- Yes — most programs raise the income requirement for dependants (Spain adds ~38% of the base for a partner and ~13% per child; Portugal ~50%/25%). The matcher applies each program's published family uplift to your household, so the qualifying list is realistic.
- Can I enter my income in my own currency?
- Yes. Pick any of ~100 currencies and the tool converts to USD at the site's stored exchange rate before matching, so you don't have to do the maths.
- Do I pay taxes on a digital nomad visa?
- It depends: some programs exempt foreign income (Croatia, Costa Rica), some offer flat rates (Malta, Spain's Beckham-style regime), and in many you become tax-resident after 183 days. Check each program's tax note and get advice.
- How current is this data?
- Last reviewed 2026-07-14. Every row links to the official government source — requirements change often, so verify before applying.
