It’s called Croatia, which is part of the European Union. It is better than the Estonian Digital Nomad visa because you do not need a “sponsor”, also known as formal local connections to get the visa.
You can also get Croatian national health insurance (obavezno) and supplementary insurance (dopunsko) without issue. As an American, I would get the tertiary insurance (dodatno), which has medical underwriting. It allows you to see private providers with virtually no wait. Anyways, I am extremely unhealthy and somehow I was able to get tertiary insurance.

With an American salary, you get to live as a king or a queen. Quality of life is very similar to the US. I am a dual US|Croatian citizen working remote part time for a US company, but of course I can do that without a visa due to my status anywhere in the European Union because I am a dual citizen.
- baybal2 5y agoI took a look on it as well. Zagreb is tiny. Less than a million people.
- disabled 5y agoBy no means is Zagreb tiny. The metro area is 1.15 million people. If you are going to be that picky, then you are not going to find a digital nomad visa that meets your criteria. There are only a handful of western countries with high quality of living that will let you have such visas on the premise of “willing to pay the taxes”. There is a reason why.
- mdorazio 5y agoZagreb has more population than Portland and almost as much as Austin. Not sure what size city you're looking for, but a lot of people specifically don't want a Los Angeles size sprawl.
- JAlexoid 5y agoYou shouldn't judge based solely on population size. NYC is half the size of Tokyo, but has more going for it. Dublin is just about a million. Amsterdam is about a million.
