💡 Digital Nomad Visas vs Long-Term Residency — What’s the REAL Difference?
A lot of people assume digital nomad visas = long-term freedom.
In reality, they solve very different problems.
Here’s the simple breakdown 👇
🌍 Digital Nomad Visas
Best for:• Testing a country• Short–medium stays (6–24 months)• Keeping tax ties elsewhere
But watch out for:• Limited renewals• No clear path to permanence• Banking & rental friction• Tax rules that change by country
They’re great for flexibility, not stability.
🏠Long-Term Residency
Best for:• Multi-year living• Clear renewal paths• Easier banking & rentals• Tax planning (if done correctly)
Trade-offs:• More paperwork upfront• Income or savings thresholds• Commitment to one country
This is what most people actually want — they just don’t realise it yet.
For Example:

Georgia blurs the line.
• 1-year visa-free stay• Simple tax regime• Easy company setup• Low cost of living
Many people live like residents without holding residency — but that comes with risks long-term.

💬 Question:Would you rather have maximum flexibility — or long-term certainty when living abroad?
