🇺🇸 United States · Digital Nomad Visa
Remote-work visa programs, income requirements, duration, taxes, and application steps.
The United States does not have a digital nomad visa. There is no visa category for living in the US while working remotely for a foreign employer. The B-1/B-2 visitor visa (or ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program) permits tourism and limited business activities but not employment, so it is not a remote-work route. Longer stays require an appropriate work or other visa.
- There is no US digital nomad visa.
- The B-1/B-2 visitor visa and ESTA permit tourism/limited business but not employment.
- Living in the US while working — even for a foreign employer — generally needs a work-authorising status.
