🇨🇼 Curacao Digital nomad visa

All requirements in detail

Official name

@HOME in Curaçao — Temporary Stay Permit for Remote Workers / Digital Nomads

Visa type

Digital nomad visa

Status

Active

Income basis

Mixed (salary, freelance or savings)

Legal basis

The official @HOME in Curaçao FAQ does not publish a fixed minimum monthly income. Instead of an income threshold, applicants must submit 'proof of solvency' documents demonstrating gainful remote employment/self-employment abroad — a recent employer's statement, a certified copy of an employment contract, or (for own-company applicants) a recent declaration/statement of assignment. A USD 2,500/month minimum is cited by several third-party blogs but is NOT stated on the official program site (athomeincuracao.com/faq), and other third-party sources explicitly state there is no minimum income, so the figure is treated as unverified and left null. No EUR conversion is given because no official figure exists. (FX context, June 2026: 1 USD ≈ 0.86 EUR.)

Insurance requirement, verbatim intent: Official FAQ: 'A valid international travel insurance is required (including COVID-19 coverage)' and 'A valid medical insurance is a prerequisite for approval of your application.' No minimum coverage amount (sum insured) is published. @HOME remote-worker permit holders are non-residents and cannot enrol in the public BVZ scheme, so international/travel medical cover valid for the full stay is effectively mandatory.

Tax notes: The official FAQ states participants 'will not be required to pay Curaçao Income Tax,' and that short-stay remote workers (6 months) 'will not become a resident of Curaçao.' Holders of the @HOME remote-worker permit are not treated as Curaçao tax residents and the permit does not confer residency, so foreign-source remote income is not taxed locally. No special tax regime name attaches to the program; the exemption follows from non-resident status. The permit itself sets no published day-count threshold. Separately, Curaçao's general tax rules treat someone who establishes residency — typically spending 183+ days/year on the island — as a tax resident; the @HOME permit (max 12 months, no residency) is designed to keep holders outside that local tax net, and anyone who otherwise establishes tax residency would fall under standard resident-taxation rules rather than this permit.
