Digital nomad visas let remote workers live legally in a country while working for a foreign employer. Requirements vary widely — from Colombia's accessible $684/month threshold to Thailand's high-bar $80K/year LTR visa.
Tax benefits are the hidden differentiator. Spain's Beckham Law (flat 24% for 6 years), Portugal's NHR regime, and Italy's 7% flat rate in southern regions can save tens of thousands per year compared to standard rates. Some countries (UAE, Croatia) exempt remote workers from local income tax entirely.
