DNVDigital Nomad Visas
Remote-worker visas for location-independent professionals — income-based eligibility, typically 1-2 year permits. We cover formal DNVs plus de-facto remote-worker routes (German Freiberufler, Czech Živnostenský, Dutch DAFT). Tax treatment — the #1 buyer question — is called out for each program.
Reference only — not legal or tax advice. Income thresholds change with minimum wages; verify before applying.
