Which country has the lowest income requirement for a nomad visa?

Are digital nomad visas the same as tourist visas?
No. A digital nomad visa is a residence authorisation that lets you legally live somewhere while working remotely for foreign income, usually for a year or more. A tourist visa is short and doesn't permit work. See our guide on the difference.
How current is this list?
Every country's income, duration, fee, and status is verified against its official immigration source and dated on its page. We add new programs as they launch and keep closed ones on record rather than deleting them. Last verified July 2026.
