"Portugal stands out with its dual-visa approach, requiring applicants to prove a monthly income of at least €3,280 for their Digital Nomad (D8) visa or approximately €760 for the D7 passive income visa. The D7 visa particularly appeals to those with passive income streams, offering a pathway to Portuguese citizenship after five years of legal residency. With a monthly income requirement of €3,280 and a savings threshold of approximately €39,360, the Digital Nomad visa provides a clear pathway to temporary residency, and even permanent residency after five years."
"Croatia's Digital Nomad Visa program allows stays up to 1 year, with the option to renew once for up to 2 years total. One of the most unique aspects of Croatia's program is that it exempts digital nomads from paying local income tax during their stay. Applicants must show a monthly income of at least €2,870, which increases 10% for each additional family member."
A global shift toward remote work has enabled location-independent professionals to pursue residency abroad through simplified visa routes. Several countries have streamlined requirements, lowered financial thresholds, and defined pathways from temporary visas to permanent residency and citizenship. Portugal offers a dual-visa system: a Digital Nomad (D8) visa requiring a monthly income of €3,280 and a D7 passive-income route with roughly €760 monthly; the D7 leads to citizenship after five years. The D8 includes a savings threshold near €39,360 and had issued over 2,600 visas as of 2025. Croatia permits stays up to one year (renewable once), exempts nomads from local income tax, and requires a monthly income of €2,870, increasing by 10% per additional family member.
