Every Digital Nomad Visa in Europe in 2023
2023 is set to be an exciting year for digital nomads as several European countries are launching their very own digital nomad visa programs. With remote work becoming increasingly popular and accessible, more and more individuals are choosing to live a location-independent lifestyle.
Digital nomads are individuals who work remotely and have the freedom to travel and live in different countries while working online. In response to this growing trend, many European countries have recognized the benefits that digital nomads can bring to their economies and have created visa programs tailored specifically to their needs.
One of the pioneering countries in this regard is Estonia, which launched its digital nomad visa in 2020. The program allows digital nomads to live and work in Estonia for up to a year. The application process is straightforward, and applicants need to provide proof of employment or freelancing activities and meet certain financial requirements. Estonia has a strong digital infrastructure and a vibrant tech scene, making it an attractive destination for digital nomads.
In 2023, other European countries are following Estonia’s lead and introducing their own digital nomad visa programs. Portugal, for instance, is set to launch a one-year digital nomad visa, allowing remote workers to live and work in the country while taking advantage of its stunning beaches, rich culture, and affordable cost of living.
Greece, known for its breathtaking landscapes and historical sites, is also introducing a digital nomad visa in 2023. This visa is expected to offer a one-year stay permit for individuals who can prove remote work or self-employment. Greece’s sunny climate and vibrant lifestyle make it an ideal destination for digital nomads seeking a balance between work and leisure.
The Czech Republic, with its rich history and vibrant capital city, Prague, is also jumping on the digital nomad visa bandwagon. In 2023, the country is expected to launch a visa program that allows digital nomads to live and work in the Czech Republic for a year. This visa will attract individuals seeking a mix of cultural experiences and a thriving startup scene.
Other European countries, such as Spain, Italy, and Croatia, are also considering digital nomad visa programs in 2023, recognizing the potential economic and cultural benefits that digital nomads bring. These countries boast stunning landscapes, rich heritage, and favorable climates, making them attractive destinations for people seeking both work opportunities and a high quality of life.
For digital nomads, the availability of these visa programs means greater flexibility and ease in choosing their base of operations. They will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in new cultures, explore picturesque landscapes, and build connections with local communities, all while maintaining their remote work.
In conclusion, 2023 is a promising year for digital nomads as several European countries are set to introduce their own digital nomad visa programs. This trend highlights the growing recognition of the positive impact that digital nomads can have on economies and local communities. As remote work continues to gain traction, these visa programs offer enticing opportunities for digital nomads to explore new horizons, experience different cultures, and contribute to the local economies of the countries they choose to reside in.

Can you do Latin America too?
@OffshoreCitizen – Could you please do a video on the Portugal D8 Visa especially combined with NHR. I was a bit surprised that this wasn't in your video but I'm guessing that there might be a good reason I am not aware of?
You mention in some of your other videos about buying/investing in property as a way of getting a residency visa for various EU countries. Does this mean outright purchase or can you do it with a mortgage? Great channel, just discovered it. Many thanks
I wish watch a video about royalties tax… to skip the 30% that the US impose
Anyone applied for Czech ? what do they mean by having 5000 euros in bank account ?
Great video as always! I've been watching your vids a lot recently because I'm a bit of a digital nomad these days. I'd love to get some advice from you but the call rate on your site is a bit beyond my budget. I was wondering if you have an email / text based consultation rate. Thanks so much!
Hi Michael, (or anyone else) do you know if having a YouTube channel is considered "employment" for foreign retirees in the eyes of countries like Italy? I'd like to hit the $31,000 Euro threshold combining my CPP, investment dividends, and what I make on YouTube to be able to retire in Italy, but haven't found any info on whether I can make YouTube income and still be considered retired. Meaning, would they view YouTube as working, or as passive income?
if i consider living in every european country for at least 2 year in addition to countries such as south American countries, in such case what kind of health insurance will suit me that are applicable to every countries & how to manage phone number? Please make a detailed video on that if possible!

Hi Michael. Fellow Canadian here. I’m in Portugal with the new Digital Nomad visa (D8) that was launched late 2022. Happy to share info about it if you want to chat.
Stop doing the soy face in your thumbnails.
It’s unprofessional and it gets you less views.
Mr Beast did the math and he also stopped doing it.
Lol, I came to Portugal, specifically to the Madeira Islands, on the new Portugal Digital Nomad Visa. It's officially referred to as the D8 visa, which is the successor to the D7 Passive Income Visa. The income requirement for this visa is four times the minimum salary in Portugal, which amounts to roughly €3040 per month. There are two categories within this type of visa: the Short Term Digital Nomad Visa (valid for one year and not extendable) and the Long Term Digital Nomad Visa (valid for more than one year, leading to Permanent Residency, and eventually, citizenship, similar to the D7) and I came on the latter. If anyone needs more information, please reply to this comment.
Great video as always. Thanks Michael.
Your genuine love for your audience is evident.
can you do the same for countries in asia?!
Update : Portugal launched the D8 visa in February 2023, this is for digital nomads and remote workers. Use to all fall under the D7 visa
Thanks …you forgot Germany, France, Ireland….Are there Digital Nomad Visa in Europe for older people “almost retired” “don’t need theses courtiers money” but would like to spend a year in each country without immigration issues!
What's with Romania? Almost $6,000 CAD a month to stay there for 1 year? That's ridiculous. Latvia is almost as bad. Who the hell wants to be in Romania & Latvia in the winter anyway? I might as well just stay in Vancouver the winters are milder.
Croatia is the only one I’d consider
Do all of the 6+ month digital nomad visas require paying taxes? I'd assume so unless stated otherwise.
Hi, thanks for the info. I have a question; if I was to get say the Spanish nomad visa for a year, am I able to spend the year travelling through Europe in a van or am I constrained within Spain for a set period of time?
The requirement for a Cyprus visitor permit is 2000 EUR a month and 10k in a local bank account.
I understood Portugal does have a Digital Nomad visa (D8 or D2) or do they have a different name? I know two people are in the country on this visa.
First!!!
