Digital-nomad transitory residence
Compare work, study, family and income grounds. A short remote-work route is not permanent residence or a citizenship guarantee.
Overseas-work evidence; route limited to visa-exempt nationalities
Documents for this route
- Passport and evidence of eligibility for the applicable entry.
- Application describing remote professional activity, foreign contracts/work evidence.
- Permanent settlement requires another basis; transitory status is not permanent residence.
- Prepare civil records, qualifications and police certificates for your chosen long-term route, not a marketing nomad checklist.
What to do before departure
Order police certificates from the required countries. Check whether validity is measured from issue, entry or filing. Prepare birth, marriage and name-change records; check apostille or consular legalization, treaty exemptions and translation requirements. An apostille and a translation are different procedures.
Leave a tailored power of attorney with a trusted person: specify banks, property, document collection and representation. Confirm each institution will accept it, any substitution authority and expiry. Do not hand over banking passwords.

Match schools to language, the Southern Hemisphere academic calendar and commute. Verify healthcare costs and access for your status.
Check each family member's residence, work and study rights separately. Children may need custody documents, the other parent's consent specifically to residence, school records and vaccination history. Pet preparation depends on departure, transit, airline and destination veterinary rules.
