Many European countries offer digital travel visas that make it easy for Canadians to work. 

From Greece to Portugal, here are seven countries in Europe where Canadians can work remotely for up to a year.

Below are the European countries that provide remote jobs for Canadians:

Croatia :

Croatia offers a one-year residence permit to citizens from outside the EU / EEA who work in “ICT” either for themselves or for a company not registered in the Republic of Croatia.

Foreign workers can also stay for up to a year, and close family members can join them.

Those wishing to work and live in Croatia are required to earn €2,539.31 per month or about $3,734.86.

However, those intending to stay in Croatia for a year can prove that they already have at least €30,471.72 (or $44,818.34) in their bank account.

Malta :

The Nomad residence permit in Malta is available for remote workers and freelancers working for companies outside the country.

The permit is available to citizens from outside the EU and is valid for residence up to one year.

To be eligible, applicants must prove they can work remotely and must have a monthly income of €2,700 or about $3,971.21.

Estonia :

Details: Estonia is home to wild nature, medieval towns, and historical landmarks, and has been dubbed the world’s most advanced digital society, a haven for digital nomads.

The Baltic state’s Digital Nomad visa allows remote workers to stay in the country for up to one year.

To be eligible, workers must prove their ability to work independently for a company or clients in a foreign country.

They must also provide income details proving they earned at least €4,500 (about $6,618.68) in the six months prior to their application.

Greece :

The Digital Nomad visa allows citizens from outside the EU to live and work remotely in the country for one year.

Foreign workers can also work for any employer registered outside Greece. However, like many other digital nomad visas, they are not allowed to work or freelance for Greek companies.

To be eligible, applicants must prove they have a monthly income of at least €3,500 or about $5,147.86.

Iceland :

Details: If you prefer hot springs and volcanoes, Iceland might be the place for you.

Iceland’s long-term remote work visa is open to high-income residents from outside the EEA who do not require a visa to enter the Schengen Area.

Applicants must be either employees of a foreign company or freelancers to be eligible. They must also show an income of 1,000,000 Icelandic króna per month or about $9,931.73.

Unlike other digital nomad visas that allow workers to stay in the country for up to a year, Iceland’s permit allows workers to stay for up to six months.

Spain :

The Spanish digital nomad visa was launched in February, offering a work opportunity for foreign workers who work remotely or engage in professional activities via telecommunications.

According to reports, the visa is open to citizens outside the EU / EEA who work for non-Spanish companies.

To be eligible, applicants will need to prove they earn at least €2,334 per month or €28,000 per year, according to Euro News reports, which is about $3,431.95 per month or $41,171.62 annually.

To apply, Canadians can go through the Spanish consulate or embassy in Canada.

Portugal :

The Portuguese digital nomad visa was launched earlier this year, allowing remote workers to live and work in the country for up to one year.

However, to qualify, applicants must earn at least four times the minimum wage in Portugal, which is at least €2,800 per month or $4,118.29.

Applicants must also come from a country outside the EU or EEA and be either self-employed or work for a company based outside Portugal.

Applications can be submitted through the Portuguese consulate or the Portuguese Immigration Service Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras.
