Turkey | Introduction of Digital Nomad Visa

In recent years, the digital nomad lifestyle has gained immense popularity, allowing individuals to work remotely while exploring new cultures and destinations. Recognizing this trend, Turkey has launched a digital nomad visa, providing an exciting opportunity for remote workers to live in a country rich in history, culture, and stunning landscapes.

 
What is the Digital Nomad Visa?

Turkey’s digital nomad visa is designed for freelancers, remote employees, and entrepreneurs who earn income from foreign sources. Originally announced in mid-April, applications are now available for foreign nationals from specific countries who meet Turkey’s income threshold. This visa allows you to reside in Turkey for up to one year, with the potential for extensions, making it an attractive option for those looking to blend work and travel.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for Turkey's digital nomad visa, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Age and Education: You must be between 21 and 55 years old and hold a college degree.
  • Nationality: You must be a citizen of one of the 36 eligible countries.
  • Employment Status You must be employed by a company outside of Turkey or self-employed.
  • Income Threshold: You need to prove an annual income of at least US$36,000.
Application Process

Prospective digital nomads can submit documents proving they meet all of the requirements through Turkey’s online platform. Once verified, eligible travelers will be issued a Digital Nomad Identification Certificate, allowing them to visit a Turkish visa center or consulate to complete the application process. For those already in Turkey, you can apply for a residence permit online after receiving the certificate from the system.

Conclusion

Turkey's digital nomad visa is a game-changer for remote workers seeking a unique blend of work and travel. By providing a clear pathway for eligible individuals to live in a country known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes, this initiative opens doors to a fulfilling lifestyle. With straightforward eligibility requirements and a streamlined application process, Turkey is positioning itself as an attractive destination for digital nomads.

If you meet the criteria and are ready to embark on a new adventure, the Turkish digital nomad visa could be your ticket to an enriching experience. Start gathering your documents, submit your application, and prepare to immerse yourself in the beauty and diversity of Turkey.
