What are the BEST Countries for Digital Nomads in 2024??

Here's our take:
#1. Costa Rica. With a relatively easy digital nomad visa, incredible nature, beautiful beaches, and no tax on foreign-earned income, it's hard to beat Costa Rica.

#2. Portugal. Portugal is one of the only countries that offers a digital nomad visa that can lead to permanent residency and citizenship. That's an EU passport for digital nomads who want to live long-term in the country! Add to that Portugal's safety, charm, and low cost of living and what's not to love?

#3. Spain. Spain is one of the hottest places to live as a digital nomad right now. It has a better tax regime for digital nomads than most other EU countries, plus the marvelous cities, towns, and culture you want in your nomad adventures.

#4. Panama. If you're looking for a tropical getaway, a mountain town, or the big city, you can find it in Panama. With great benefits, no income tax for digital nomads, and wonderful climate, Panama is a perfect choice.

#5. Italy just released a NEW Digital Nomad Visa! We are so excited to see what happens in Italy. With beautiful culture, food, and history, we also want to get to Italy as nomads.

#6. Mexico. There's so much to love about Mexico. The food, the weather, the people, the cost of living, the ease of travel!

Wondering if you can move to Costa Rica while continuing to work? Absolutely you can!

Costa Rica's Digital Nomad Visa is designed to encourage and allow anyone able to work remotely to move to this beautiful country. Want to know what's even better? Costa Rica doesn't tax any foreign-earned income. So if you're working remotely, you don't owe income tax in Costa Rica, and you may not need to pay tax in your home country either.

If you want to get a job in Costa Rica, working for a Costa Rican company, you should wait until you're a permanent resident. You can get temporary residency in many different ways, and then it's a 3 year wait to permanent residency.

We get this Portugal question all the time! On the most popular visas (the passive income and digital nomad visas), how much time do you have to spend in Portugal?

To qualify for renewal of your residency you will need to spend at least 16 out of your first 24 months in Portugal. Importantly, that's not in the EU or the Schengen area, but in Portugal itself. You also can't spend more than 6 consecutive months out of Portugal during the first 2 years.

The 5 most important steps if you want to turn your dream of living in Costa Rica into your real life.

1. Take a trip: make sure this is the right dream for you! And crucially, find the place in Costa Rica that is the best fit for your day-to-day life.
2. Get your visa: Costa Rica offers some great options for many different kinds of people.
3. Find your home: Will it be a beachside condo? A treehouse in the jungle? A villa in the hills?
4. Get around: you'll need transportation too. Will you be in the Central Valley, where it's easy to use rideshare apps? Or will you be in a remote beach town where a rugged SUV is needed?
5. Work with the right people: It's easy to make mistakes or be taken advantage of in a new country and culture. Do your due diligence on anyone you work with, from your lawyer to your real estate agent to your mechanic.

Check out startabroad.com to learn more about Costa Rica and how we can help with any of the steps above.
