📝 NOTES
No dedicated digital nomad visa. Remote workers typically use e-Tourist or e-Business visa. 1-year or 5-year multi-entry available. Stay limit: 90 days per entry (180 for US/Japan nationals). No limit on re-entries. Goa has discussed a dedicated DN visa but hasn't implemented it. Fee varies by nationality: ~$80 for US/Russia, ~$50 for most others. If staying 182+ days, become tax resident with worldwide income taxed.
