Visa rules for nomads
Remote work entry pathway
Nomad Visa Income Requires an annual income of $60,000 USD for the E33G Remote Worker Visa (Digital Nomad Visa).
Nomad Visa Duration Valid for 1 year. Alternatively, nomads heavily use the B211A tourism/business visa or the E33G 5-year visa for longer stays.
Tourist Entry Visa on arrival for most nationalities (US, UK, EU) for 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days.
Business Meetings The B211A business visa covers meetings, conferences and site visits, but not local employment or local invoicing.
Money
Tipping customs
Not mandatory, but rounding up taxi bills or leaving 10% in Western-style nomad cafes is standard.
Where to base
Nomad hotspots

Coworking availability
