How remote visas work

"Digital nomad" and "remote work" visas are not identical. Some allow freelancing for foreign clients only; others need a foreign employer contract; a few open a residence track. Shared building blocks: valid passport, clean record, health insurance, proof of income, and sometimes a local address. Costs below are order-of-magnitude government fees in USD — legal help, translations, and flights are extra. Processing clocks usually start after a complete biometrics/document package.
