Estonia offers a digital nomad visa

This country has a specific visa pathway for remote workers and digital nomads.

For Americans & Canadians

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ US citizens note

Even if you move to Estonia, you still file US taxes on worldwide income. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) can shield up to $132,900/yr of earned income. Whether the Foreign Tax Credit or FEIE is better depends on Estonia's tax rates and your income type. Ask the AI for your specific situation.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Canadian residents note

Moving to Estonia as a Canadian non-resident means Canada only taxes your Canadian-source income. A "departure tax" applies on deemed asset dispositions when you leave. Check whether Canada and Estonia have a tax treaty, which determines withholding rates on pensions, dividends, and RRSP withdrawals.
