Frequent questions
Why isn’t the programme open to all citizenships?
Because the approved-country list is officially set by Turkey and published on the GoTürkiye platform — this is not a source discrepancy but a direct restriction of the scheme itself.
Is the Digital Nomad Identification Certificate a visa?
No, it is a preliminary online confirmation of meeting the criteria, which is then used as the basis for filing for a visa or residence permit — the certificate itself is not a final residence status.
Is a university degree mandatory?
Yes, a separate mandatory condition regardless of income level — without a degree, the application formally does not meet the criteria.
Can I work for Turkish clients?
No — income must come from sources outside Turkey; the programme is strictly for remote employment with foreign companies or clients.
Are there age exceptions?
Per the available research, the 21–55 range is a strict condition with no stated exceptions.
Where can I check the current country list?
On the official GoTürkiye platform (goturkiye.com/digitalnomads) — the list can be updated, so it’s worth checking before filing.
