A June 2026 roundup counts about 55 dedicated digital nomad visas worldwide, over 60 if you include remote-work permits. The headline is not the count. It is that the income requirements keep shifting.
Several moved early this year, mostly because they are tied to minimum wages or average salaries. Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Colombia and Ecuador all changed. The guide lists Portugal at about 4,230 dollars a month and Spain at about 3,280. Bar changes are not always upward: Kenya cut its threshold from 55,000 to 24,000 dollars a year.
Closer to home, Thailand's DTV is listed at about 15,200 dollars in savings, for up to five years with 180-day stays. The LTR visa lowered its qualifying employer revenue from 150 million to 50 million dollars, which opens it to more people.
New options appeared too. Sri Lanka launched in February at about 2,000 dollars a month. Bulgaria, Slovenia and Moldova opened late 2025.
Tightening is the other trend. The UAE now wants six months of bank statements instead of three. Greece stopped accepting applications from inside the country. Indonesia ran an enforcement sweep in Bali that led to deportations of people working on tourist visas. Antigua closed its programme in November 2025.
The takeaway is simple. Never plan a move from a blog post, including this one. Open the official government page, check the current figure, and screenshot it on the day you apply.
