Frequently asked questions

Can freelancers qualify for digital nomad visas?

Yes. Most programs explicitly accept self-employed applicants, provided income from outside the host country meets the threshold. The key difference is documentation: freelancers use invoices, client contracts, and bank statements rather than payslips.

My income varies month to month. Is that a problem?

Programs typically assess an average over 3–12 months. We help you present your income correctly so variable months are properly contextualised.

Do I need a registered business or just freelance contracts?

Some programs accept informal freelance arrangements; others prefer a registered entity (LLC, sole trader registration). We advise on what your specific target country requires.

What if I invoice through a company I own?

Income through a company you own can typically be counted, but the documentation differs (dividend records, director salary, company bank statements). We guide you through the correct format.
