Digital Nomad Guide
Working from a cafe in Lisbon, a coworking space in Bali, or a hammock in Thailand. The guide to understand everything and get started.
Understand
What is a digital nomad?
A digital nomad is someone who uses technology to work remotely while travelling. Freelancers, remote employees, online entrepreneurs, or content creators: the profiles vary, but the common thread is geographic freedom.
Unlike a traditional expat, a digital nomad doesn't settle permanently. They move at their own pace, following the weather, their mood, or the communities they find. A month in Lisbon, three months in Chiang Mai, a summer in Mexico City: movement is part of the lifestyle.
This lifestyle requires organisation: finding good wifi, managing time zones, maintaining a work routine, and navigating administrative formalities. But with the right tools and a solid community, it's now accessible to anyone who works online.
Freedom
Work from wherever you want, whenever you want.
Discovery
Every month can be a new city, a new culture.
Community

Taxation
Digital nomad taxation
Taxation is one of the most complex questions for digital nomads. As a general rule, tax obligations depend on your tax residence, meaning the country where you spend the most time (often the 183-day rule) and where your economic and personal interests are based.
Some countries like Estonia, Georgia, or Portugal offer advantageous tax regimes for remote workers. Others impose worldwide income tax on their tax residents regardless of where they work.
Key points to keep in mind:
Tax residence
Your primary tax obligation depends on the country where you're considered a tax resident. Check bilateral agreements.
Tax treaties
Many countries have signed double taxation agreements. They prevent you from paying tax twice.
Legal status
Sole trader, LLC, Estonian company... the right status depends on your activity and trajectory.
Professional advice
Every situation is unique. Consult an accountant specialised in international mobility before making decisions.
This guide provides general information and does not constitute tax advice. Consult a qualified professional for your personal situation.
