/>iThe government of Turkey launched a new digital nomad visa that allows recipients to live and work in the country for up to one year with the option for renewal via a residence permit.
Key Points:
- Originally announced in mid-April, applications are now available for foreign nationals from specific countries who meet Turkey’s income threshold.
- To be eligible, an individual must be a college graduate between the ages of 21 and 55 and a citizen of one of 36 eligible countries.
- Applicants must be employed by a company outside of Turkey or self-employed and able to prove they earn at least US$36,000 per year.
Additional Information: Prospective digital nomads can submit documents proving they meet all of the requirements to Turkey’s online platform. Eligible travelers will then be issued a Digital Nomad Identification Certificate so they may visit a Turkish visa center or consulate to complete the application process. In-country applicants can apply for a residence permit online after receiving the certificate from the system.
