Curaçao Digital Nomad Visa
Curaçao's @HOME program lets remote workers live on the Dutch-Caribbean island for six months, extendable to a year, with no official income minimum and no Curaçao tax on foreign earnings.
One of the few Caribbean remote-work programs still running in 2026 (unlike Antigua, Bermuda and Cayman, which closed). It's cheap (~$294) and fast (~2 weeks), with no published income floor, just proof you work remotely for foreign employers or clients. Foreign earnings aren't taxed by Curaçao.

Updated: Active in 2026 with applications open; the often-quoted $2,500/month minimum is third-party, not on the official program site.
Key requirements

- No official income minimum (some third-party guides cite $2,500/month)
