Entry & stay preparation
Pick a destination and purpose to see the government’s official pages and the questions to check for your situation
Wakation does not decide whether you can enter or which visa you need. The answer depends on your passport, departure country, length and purpose, so always check the official pages below. Every link goes to an official government site — not an agency that charges to file on your behalf.

Remote work
To be confirmed
We have not yet confirmed an official application channel for a remote-work or digital nomad visa (to be confirmed). Check with the immigration authority whether remote work is allowed on a visitor status.
Questions to check for your situation
Find the answers on the official pages or with the embassy or immigration authority. Wakation does not answer them for you.
- Is my passport country visa-free? How long is the first stay, and how do I extend it?
- When can and must I register on eTravel?
- Do I need a Special Study Permit (SSP) for a language course? Does the school apply for it?
- Is remote work for an overseas employer allowed while visiting as a tourist?
- Can I actually apply for the digital nomad visa now, and is my nationality eligible?
