Guides
Five programs publish no monthly income bar. What they test instead — savings, substantial means, or an affidavit — and how each one really works, verified against official sources.
Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)
What they test instead: No monthly income requirement — this visa is savings-based.
Work from Bermuda Certificate
What they test instead: No fixed threshold — applicants must show 'substantial means and/or a continuous source of annual income' suited to Bermuda's high costs.
BEATS — Bahamas Extended Access Travel Stay
What they test instead: No minimum income is published — proof of employment or self-employment is required instead.
Provisional Digital Nomad Identity Sheet
What they test instead: No fixed income threshold — applicants sign an affidavit of sufficient means and show bank statements.
Existence unconfirmed
Digital Nomad Visa
What they test instead: No income threshold has been published — the implementing regulations were never issued.
The honest caveat
“No income requirement” never means “no questions asked.” Every program above still wants evidence you won't become a burden on the state. The practical difference: instead of clearing a published number, you persuade a human. Bring 3–6 months of bank statements and client contracts regardless of which route you choose.
Yes — five programs publish no monthly income bar. Thailand tests savings (~€13,300) instead; Bermuda, the Bahamas and Uruguay approve qualitatively based on proof of ongoing means. Peru's program exists in law but its regulations were never issued, so it can't currently be applied for.
No. Qualitative approval still means proving you can support yourself — bank statements, client contracts, or an affidavit of means. The bar is judgment, not a number, which cuts both ways: flexible earners benefit, but outcomes are less predictable.
Thailand's DTV is the most predictable: the savings figure is published and objective. Bermuda and the Bahamas suit high earners who prefer not to document a monthly figure. Uruguay works well for Latin America–based nomads.
