About this data
This index tracks the velocity of digital nomad visa implementation. We measure the time elapsed between the first official government press release announcing a visa scheme and the date a functional application portal becomes live for public use.
By calculating this delta, we can distinguish between nations actively building digital infrastructure and those using 'visa-hype' as a tourism marketing tool.
Data is compiled from official government gazettes, ministerial press releases, and direct monitoring of immigration portals across participating nations.
Sources
Every figure on this page was read from these pages.
While many sites list available digital nomad visas, there is no existing tracker or recurring report that specifically calculates the 'velocity' or gap between government press hype and functional implementation portals.
