Best Countries for Digital Nomad Property Investment 2025

Remote work has created a new wave of global property investors—digital nomads seeking lifestyle, mobility and long-term rental returns. For 2025, Thailand, Portugal and Bali rank as the best countries for digital nomad property investment thanks to strong rental demand, modern infrastructure, and visa pathways that support remote workers and lifestyle investors.

Remote work has transformed global living trends, giving rise to a new generation of location-independent professionals and digital entrepreneurs who are choosing to live abroad while building international income. This growing global movement has significantly impacted property investment trends, as digital nomads increasingly choose to rent long-term or purchase property in countries that offer good internet, cost-effective living, modern infrastructure and visa stability.

According to the NomadList Global Remote Work Index 2025, Statista Digital Workforce Survey 2024 and VisaGuide World Digital Nomad Rankings 2025, the top countries for digital nomad property investment in 2025 are Thailand, Portugal and Bali (Indonesia)—markets where rental income is driven by long-stay nomads, and where property offers strong capital growth and high demand.

🇹🇭 Thailand – The Digital Nomad Capital of Asia

Thailand continues to dominate the global digital nomad lifestyle movement, thanks to its affordable coastal living, advanced mobile internet, co-working hubs and remote work communities. Cities such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai are among the top 10 most popular destinations for remote workers worldwide (NomadList 2025).

Investment Advantages

  • High rental demand year-round from nomads and long-stay expats

  • Affordable investment entry from £80,000–£150,000
  • Strong growth in co-living and serviced apartment projects

Thailand is a top digital nomad investment hub, ideal for property investors targeting consistent long-stay occupancy and lifestyle rental returns.

🇵🇹 Portugal – Europe’s Remote Work Powerhouse

Portugal ranks as the #1 country in Europe for remote workers (VisaGuide.World Digital Nomad Index 2025) due to its digital infrastructure, English-speaking networks, affordable lifestyle and visa stability. Lisbon, Porto and Madeira have emerged as major remote-work lifestyle hubs attracting global entrepreneurs and online business owners.
