Seychelles’ Tax Policies for Digital Nomads

In April 2021, the Indian Ocean nation of Seychelles launched its digital nomad visa program, officially called the Workcation Retreat Program. This visa is valid for one year, can be applied for entirely online, and allows applicants to bring their spouse and children along. While the visa cannot be renewed, it comes with a major advantage: the application requirements are incredibly easy to meet, making it perfect for a spontaneous getaway.

Here are the application requirements for Seychelles’ digital nomad visa:
