Start with a country
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 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 — those come from governments, not advertisers. Here's exactly how we check things.
