The essentials

Property for remote working: Everything to know

Living abroad while you work remotely usually needs a visa built for it. These six facts cover the main markets on this page.

  • US$3,500UAE monthly income

    The UAE's one-year virtual work visa is for people employed by a company outside the UAE. Applicants show a salary of at least US$3,500 a month, or the equivalent, plus health insurance.

    Why it matters: Owning a home in the UAE and holding this visa are separate. The UAE's identity authority (ICP) or, in Dubai, the residency office (GDRFA) can confirm the current conditions.

  • 1 yearSpain's teleworking visa

    Spain's teleworking visa, also known as the digital nomad visa, lets you live in Spain while working for companies based abroad. It lasts one year, or three years if you apply from inside Spain. You need a degree or three years' work experience, and an income of at least twice Spain's minimum wage.

    Why it matters: If you are self-employed, up to 20% of your work can be for Spanish companies. A Spanish consulate can confirm what applies to you.

  • 180 daysEach stay in Thailand

    Thailand's Destination Thailand Visa covers remote workers. It is valid for five years with multiple entries, allows up to 180 days per entry, and can be extended once for another 180 days. Applicants show savings of at least THB 500,000.

    Why it matters: Long stays can also affect where you pay tax. A Thai embassy can confirm the visa rules, and a tax adviser can explain the rest.

  • 18 monthsCroatia's digital nomad stay

    Croatia grants digital nomads a temporary stay of up to 18 months. The work must be for a company not registered in Croatia, and the current income requirement is at least €3,622.50 a month.

    Why it matters: The income figure is based on the previous year's average salary. Croatia's Ministry of the Interior publishes the current amount.

  • 4xPortugal's minimum wage

    Portugal's residency visa for remote work asks for average monthly income of at least four times the Portuguese minimum wage over the last three months.

    Why it matters: The visa is valid for four months, during which you apply for a residence permit with AIMA. A Portuguese consulate can confirm the current checklist.

  • Your workWhat these visas look at

    Each of these permits is based on your remote work and your income, rather than on owning a home.

    Why it matters: You can plan the purchase and the visa as two separate steps. An immigration adviser can help you choose the right route.

Frequently asked questions

Property for remote working: Your questions answered

Clear answers to help you plan your purchase.

What counts as property for remote working on this page?

All the property for remote working on this page carries INTRIC's remote working rating. Homes range from studios to large villas, and facilities differ, so ask the seller about the internet connection, a quiet place to work, and any shared workspace. You will soon see which homes fit your working day.

Why should I consider property for remote working abroad?

Some of the best working days start somewhere new. A morning call with the team, then lunch in the sun. A walk by the water before the afternoon's work. Weekends exploring a region you once only visited on holiday. A few years on, the home you chose for its desk by the window is where you feel most at home.

To find the right place, look at four things: how reliable the internet is, which visa lets you stay and work, whether the time zone fits your team, and what living costs will be. Get those right, and the rest tends to fall into place.

Does buying a home give me a remote work visa?

Buying a home and getting a remote work visa are separate steps in each market covered above. The UAE's virtual work visa, Spain's teleworking visa, Thailand's Destination Thailand Visa, Croatia's digital nomad stay, and Portugal's remote work visa are all based on your work and income. An immigration adviser can confirm the right route for you.

What should I check before buying a home to work from?

Ask the seller which internet providers serve the building and what speeds residents get, then test a video call when you visit. Look for a quiet room with natural light, enough power sockets, and good air conditioning or heating. If you like company while you work, a shared workspace in the building or nearby can make a real difference.

Can I rent out my home while I travel?

Often you can, but rules on short-term letting vary by country and city, and some places need a licence. Check the local rules with the seller and a local lawyer before you plan on rental income, so you can travel with confidence.

Will working remotely abroad affect my taxes?

It can. Spending long periods in a country can make you tax resident there, depending on local rules and any tax treaty. A tax adviser who knows both countries can explain what applies to you before you move.
