Work & taxes

Digital nomad: foreign work, not local employment. €3,500 net monthly income; +20% for a spouse, +15% per child.

Digital nomad — overseas work. D visa up to 12 months; two-year renewable residence

Foreign-company employees, freelancers, local employees and owner-directors are different legal scenarios. Company registration does not automatically authorize personally working for that company.

Tax residence

Permanent/main home, habitual abode or centre of interests; also over 183 days in a 12-month period.

Rates & limitations

Digital nomad status does not automatically grant tax relief. Tax base, income category and eligibility for any separate regime need individual checks; there is no verified universal expat rate.

• Passport and immigration-status evidence; local identification number if required.
• Address evidence: lease, registration or utility bill as specified by the chosen bank.
• Tax IDs and tax-residence countries; CRS/FATCA self-certification when requested.
• Regular income evidence: employment contract and recent payslips, or freelance agreements, invoices and statements.
• Origin of savings: statement trail, property sale or inheritance records. For crypto, keep purchase, trade and withdrawal history—not just a wallet balance.

Separate immigration status, tax residence and source-of-funds evidence at a bank. Digital nomad status gives no automatic tax holiday. This is a preparation pack, not an account-opening guarantee.

Before buying a business, separately verify debt, licenses, staff, lease, accounts and your residence basis. A purchase agreement does not replace immigration approval. When networking, check the legal entity and counterpart's track record before transferring funds.
