In 2024, Spain Tops List of Best Countries for Digital Nomads to Live and Work

With a score of 4.50, Spain has reached the top position as the best place for digital nomads to live and work.

The top-five list was completed by Argentina, Romania, the United Arab Emirates and Croatia.

The study, carried out by the VisaGuide Digital Nomad Index, considered factors like cost of living, popularity among tourists, income required to apply for a digital nomad visa, taxes and internet speed.

Spain has become increasingly popular among this demographic due to its Mediterranean weather, rich culture, breathtaking shorelines and international nightlife. 

Last year, the country integrated the “Ley de Start-ups,” a scheme offering visas to non-European digital nomads and remote workers that allow them to live and work in Spain for a set period.
