Visa & Residency Programs by Country

A curated, hand-verified directory of digital nomad, job-seeker and residency programs. Every link points to an official government page — no aggregators, no affiliates. Pair each program with our live cost-of-living data to plan your move properly.

This list is intentionally not "every country in the world" — we only publish entries we've verified on an official source. More countries coming as we verify them.

Digital Nomad Visas

Live abroad while working remotely for a foreign employer or your own clients.

Relocation & Job Seeker Visas

Move first, find local work after arrival — usually time-limited, points-based, or skill-based.

Official Residency Portals

The government entry-point for all residence permit categories in that country.

A note on accuracy

Visa rules change often. We re-check official pages periodically, but always confirm eligibility, fees and processing times on the linked government website before applying. Spotted something outdated? Let us know on Twitter.
