Digital nomads, welcome to
Bosnia and Herzegovina!
DearDigital Nomads,
Are you searching for your next adventure? Bosnia and Herzegovina might have just what you need. We may wait to offer a digital nomad visa, but we do have an easy workaround that is offered to all digital nomads if you are searching for a longer stay. Digital nomads are permitted to register a business in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would then make them eligible to apply for a temporary residence permit. Do not worry, it is not as complicated as it sounds. The best part is that we want you here, so we are here to help you every step of the way. So come make Bosnia and Herzegovina your temporary home!
3 Steps to Becoming a Digital Nomad in BiH
90-day visit
Visit BiH on a 90-day tourist visa to experience the culture and what the country has to offer.
Register a business
Decided you want to extend your visit? Not a problem, we knew you would. Our advice is to connect with Invest in Brčko to get started on registering a business in BiH.
Apply for a temporary residence permit
Once your business is registered, you can apply for a temporary residence permit. The temporary residence permit would grant you permission to stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina for up to 12 months, and extensions are offered. Invest in Brčko provides services to assist in the temporary residence permit application as well if you may need it. Make sure to start early, as the process can take up to 1 month.
Once you’ve completed the steps you can enjoy Bosnia and Herzegovina for a whole year!

BiH definitely exceeded my expectations. People were very welcoming and interested in nomads going out of their way to make us feel welcome. It is a very affordable adventure sports and outdoor activities destination right specially for young and active nomads.

Gorgeous nature, delicious food, wine, adventure sports, and friendly locals. It's also affordable, diverse, safe, and a great base to explore the Balkan region. What not to like? I'm already thinking about when to come back.
