In 2025, several countries are offering budget-friendly digital nomad visa programs tailored for remote workers, and many of them are accessible to Nigerian citizens. Okay.ng presents the top 12 options that combine affordability, flexibility, and visa accessibility.


What Is a Digital Nomad Visa?

A digital nomad visa allows remote workers to legally live and work in a foreign country, provided their income comes from non-local sources (e.g., a Nigerian employer or international clients).

These visas usually last between 6 months to 2 years and often come with renewable options, without requiring citizenship or permanent residency.
