The thing that rejects most applications isn't income, it's the wrong health insurance, and the rules differ far more than the income figures do. Each country page tells you exactly what counts. Sorted by income required, lowest first · all re-checked 29 September 2026.

What RelocateRadar is
Most "best nomad visa" articles are written once and left to rot. Requirements change every year: income floors move, insurance rules tighten, tax breaks get rewritten. We keep a small set of pages genuinely up to date, show the date we last checked each one, and link the official source so you can verify it yourself. When the widely-repeated number turns out to be wrong, we say so and show our working.
We earn a commission when you buy insurance, a multi-currency account or an eSIM through our links. That funds the upkeep and never changes what our requirements tables say, because those come from governments, not advertisers. Here's exactly how we check things.
