Frequently asked questions

Which countries offer the best digital nomad visas for Americans?

Portugal (D8), Spain, Greece, Costa Rica, and the UAE are among the most accessible for US passport holders. Each has different income thresholds and lifestyle trade-offs.

Do I need to stop working for US clients?

No. Most nomad visa programs require income from sources outside the host country – income from US clients is typically exactly what they want to see.

Will I still owe US taxes abroad?

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income regardless of where they live. Many expats use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) to reduce US liability. Consult a US expat tax professional.

How much income do I need?

Programs range from approximately $2,500/month (Mexico) to $4,500/month (Estonia). We match you to programs that fit your actual income.

Can my family come with me?

Most programs allow dependants (spouse and minor children) to be included. Additional income proof is usually required per dependant.
