Panama for digital nomads
Casco Viejo at sunset, two oceans and the US dollar as currency.
Panama has a short-stay visa for remote workers, created in 2021 within the non-resident category. It is for employees of foreign companies or self-employed people whose work has effects abroad, with foreign-source income of at least USD 36,000 a year. It lasts nine months, extendable once for another nine, and lets you work remotely without any other permit.
