Weighing two destinations against each other? This tool puts any two countries' digital nomad visas, cost of living, and typical work-hours overlap side by side, with no income or budget form to fill in first. Compare the income or funds requirement, application cost, how long the visa lasts, and the tax treatment — plus, since working across time zones is often the real deciding factor, how each country's normal workday lines up with the other's. Figures come from the same dataset used across the site; confirm current rules with the relevant government authority before applying.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the remote base finder on the homepage?+
The homepage planner ranks all destinations against your specific income, budget, and required work hours. This tool skips that — pick any two countries and see the same underlying figures compared directly, without entering anything first.
Where do the figures come from?+
The same visa and cost-of-living dataset used on every country page on this site, sourced from official and institutional data where available. Some records are secondary research rather than a government source — check each country's own page for its evidence link.
Does the work-hours overlap account for daylight saving time?+
Yes. It's calculated for today's date in both countries' current time zones, so the overlap shown reflects whichever side of a daylight-saving transition each country is currently on.
