Maximizing the benefits of a golden visa: tips and tricks for digital nomads
If you're a digital nomad, traveling from country to country and never staying in one place for more than a few months—or even weeks—you might be wondering how a golden visa could benefit your lifestyle. You've heard of them, but not sure if they are right for you. This article will answer all of your questions so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not it's worth applying for one.
How to get a golden visa
The first step in obtaining a golden visa is to find out if you are eligible. To do this, you will need to meet the following requirements:
Be over 18 years old and have lived in your home country for at least five years
Have a valid passport from one of the eligible countries (see below)
Have no criminal record or pending criminal charges against you in any jurisdiction
How to use the golden visa to maximize your benefits
You can use the golden visa to maximize your benefits by:
Buying a property in the country. This will not only give you legal residency, but also make it easier for you to get a work permit and tax break.
Getting a residency permit through investment in real estate or government bonds (minimum investment required). This will allow you to stay in the country longer than 90 days per year, which means more time for traveling around Europe!
Getting a work permit by investing EUR 250k+ into businesses or creating jobs (minimum investment required). You'll still need this if you want to stay longer than 90 days per year though--so make sure that whatever business venture(s) or job(s) are worth investing so much money in!
Taking advantage of tax breaks offered by different countries with Golden Visa programs - some countries offer up to five years' worth of tax exemption on income earned outside their borders while others offer lower rates than usual during those first five years."
What are the advantages of having a golden visa?
As a digital nomad, you have the freedom to travel around the world and work remotely. With your golden visa, you can live in Portugal without needing a work visa or resident permit. This means that after five years of living there and paying taxes, you will no longer be required to live in Portugal anymore!
You also won't need an income tax return from your employer (as long as they pay taxes), which saves time and money for both parties involved in hiring someone through an agency or directly from abroad via freelancer websites like Upwork/Fiverr etc...
Where can I live with a golden visa?
You can live with your golden visa in the following countries:
Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus.
Portugal and Spain (the latter being a member of the European Union).
France and Italy have also relaxed their visa requirements for non-EU citizens to live there long term.
If you're looking for an even more exotic alternative to these options then Malta or Cyprus might be up your alley!
Digital nomads can find great opportunities as long as they do their homework.

For example, a digital nomad might be interested in moving to Portugal and purchasing a golden visa. There are many benefits of doing so. First of all, the cost of living is quite low compared to other European countries such as France and Germany; this means you can save money on rent or buying an apartment without sacrificing comfort or quality of life. Additionally, there are plenty of jobs available for those who want them--many companies are looking for English speakers with experience working remotely so they can hire them remotely! And finally: Portugal has beautiful scenery wherever you go (I've been there twice myself), which makes it easy to enjoy yourself while still being able to work hard at what matters most--your business!
The golden visa is a great opportunity for digital nomads, but only if you do your homework and make sure that you're choosing the right country. We hope that this article has helped you understand how to maximize this benefit so that it can benefit your life as well!
