Want to live and work remotely in South Africa? The Digital Nomad Visa is here to make it possible. Introduced in April 2024, this visa is designed for remote professionals and freelancers. It supports South Africa's growing tech sector and boosts the economy while offering you the chance to enjoy world-class scenery and culture. To apply, you'll need proof of stable remote work, valid health insurance and a clean criminal record. Freelancers are welcome too, as long as your clients are based outside South Africa. There's still debate about whether income requirements will be based on gross or net salary. The Department of Home Affairs is working to clarify this, while also addressing local concerns around living costs and taxes. South Africa is one of the first African nations to welcome digital nomads officially. If you're ready to blend work with adventure, this visa could be your ticket.
