10 best countries for digital nomads in 2025
Spain ranks as the top destination for digital nomads, followed by the UAE and Montenegro, according to VisaGuide’s 2025 Digital Nomad Index, reports a Kazinform News Agency correspondent.
The ranking is based on six factors: living costs, visa income requirements, taxes, internet speed, healthcare, and tourism popularity.
The unique scoring system reveals that the following are the best destinations for digital nomads for 2025:
Spain
With top scores in healthcare and tourism, Spain is a prime spot for digital nomads. However, its slower internet speeds and high visa income requirement (€2,140/month) are drawbacks.
UAE
The UAE offers blazing-fast internet and zero taxes, though nomads must earn over €5,000/month to qualify for a visa.
Montenegro
This coastal gem attracts nomads with low taxes, no income requirements, and affordable living — but internet speeds are among the lowest on the list.
Bahamas
Despite slower internet and lower healthcare scores, the Bahamas offers a tax-free visa period with no income requirements.
Hungary
Hungary balances affordable living with moderate internet speeds, low taxes, and minimal income requirements, making it a quieter, budget-friendly choice.
Canada
No income requirement and world-class healthcare make Canada appealing, though taxes (15–33%) and lower tourism scores may deter some.
Romania
With ultra-low taxes (0–10%) and affordable living, Romania is a budget-friendly haven. The six-month tax-free period offsets the €3,300 income requirement.
Portugal
Portugal offers six months tax-free, fast internet, and affordable living, though nomads must earn €3,548/month to qualify.
Brazil
With low living costs and a six-month tax-free window, Brazil is a rising star — but its 27% tax rate is a downside.
Curaçao
This Caribbean island offers visa-length tax breaks, no income requirements, and stunning landscapes, making it an affordable paradise.
Whether you prioritize low taxes, fast internet, or beautiful scenery, these destinations offer diverse perks for remote workers worldwide.
