Visa Overview
An archipelago off the coast of Africa. It's the same time zone as the UK/EU, making it a great winter escape for European nomads. The visa is very cheap and easy to get.
Pet Entry & Rules
Fairly easy entry. However, the islands are rocky and hot; it's not the easiest place to walk a dog. Vet services are limited to the main islands (Sal/Santiago).
Tax Residency
Digital nomads are exempt from income tax and capital gains tax for the duration of their permit.
