The documents each digital nomad visa asks for
What actually goes in the envelope, for the 20 programmes whose government publishes it. Every list is reproduced in the order its own source gives, from the immigration ministry's page or the PDF it links — not from a guide's summary. This is the part the comparison sites and the videos leave out, and it is the part you hit the week you apply.

How this list is made
The other active programmes publish no usable list: their official page is a portal, an application behind a login, or a sentence naming categories and ending in "etc.". Those rows record that they were checked rather than carrying a checklist copied from somewhere else. A published list is what the government asks for, not a promise of sufficiency: consulates ask for more at interview.
Every row here was checked against the immigration ministry, the law itself or an embassy page, in that order, and the document list carries the grade that checking earned: 17 high , 3 medium. The country page behind each name carries the statute or the official page it came from, so you can check it yourself rather than take it on trust. Data checked .
- high
- Taken from the immigration ministry, the law itself or an embassy page, and read directly.
- medium
- From official material that is incomplete, dated or indirect on this point, so it is reported with the gap named.
A starting point, not advice. Thresholds are set in local currency and change every year, and consulates apply their own rules. Verify on the official page before spending money.
