By Camil Predescu · Founder, Enomads · Last updated 10 July 2026
Program status
Of 125 countries tracked by Enomads, 122 have an active dedicated digital nomad visa program, 2 have no dedicated program (nomads use alternative routes like Rentista or business visas), 1 are recently changed or expiring, and 0 have been discontinued.
Income requirements
Across the 39 active programs that specify a monthly income threshold (in USD or EUR), the median requirement is approximately $2,849/month.
The lowest-barrier program is Cape Verde — no monthly income requirement, only a €1,500 average bank balance. Among the highest income thresholds in Europe is Romania at roughly €5,100/month.
Tax treatment
Approximately 60% of active programs advertise 0% tax on foreign income or use a territorial / exemption regime — meaning income earned from clients or employers outside the host country is not taxed locally.

Methodology
Data is compiled from each country's official visa program portal and cross-referenced monthly. Income requirements are shown as published; amounts in local currencies other than USD or EUR are excluded from the median and ranking tables to keep the comparison consistent. Program status classifications: active, expiring, changed, discontinued, no_program. Live status is tracked at /visa-tracker.
