Curaçao has become a favourite for remote workers: warm weather, fast internet and a clear visa route. This guide covers the @HOME in Curaçao digital nomad program and what to do if you want to stay longer.
The @HOME in Curaçao Digital Nomad Program
The program lets remote workers live on the island for 6 months, extendable to 12. Income earned from foreign sources is exempt from local tax. The application fee is about $294 USD and processing usually takes around two weeks.
Application requirements
- Proof of employment or freelance work
- Proof of income
- A valid passport and a clean criminal record
- Medical insurance for your stay

Moving beyond 12 months: standard residency permits
If you want to stay longer, standard residency permits are the next step. Dutch and US citizens have specific routes, and an investor track starts at about $140,000.
