Frequently asked questions

Which nomad visas are easiest for South Africans to get?

Georgia's Remotely from Georgia program has no minimum income requirement and is ideal for SA passport holders. Portugal's D8 digital nomad visa has a relatively low income bar. Barbados, Bermuda, and many Caribbean programs are also accessible. We match you with the best option for your income and goals.

How does leaving South Africa affect my SA tax?

South Africa taxes residents on worldwide income. If you cease to be an SA tax resident by meeting the physical presence test abroad, your SA tax liability changes significantly. This process is called financial emigration (or tax emigration). We do not provide tax advice; consult a South African tax advisor before planning a move.

Do I need health insurance for a nomad visa?

Most nomad visa programs require proof of health insurance valid for the entire visa period. We include health insurance guidance in your application checklist.

Can I take my family?

Most nomad visa programs allow dependants including a partner and minor children. Additional documentation is required for dependants. We include dependant guidance in your application pack.
