Which other ones besides DAFT are you referring to? I think all of them that I have read about(Portugal, Malta, Cyprus) require hundreds of thousand of Euros no?

I think there are quite a few startup and freelancer visas that aren't all that hard to get access to. I guess I also should have specified how much capital, but I was thinking sub 100k euro. For instance there's the new Estonian digital nomad visa if you make 3k and change and work for a foreign (non Estonian) entity, Germany has their freelance visa that didn't seem all that hard to acquire from the folks I met who had it while I was in Berlin. Below is an article I found after a few minutes of Googling that outlines a few worldwide.

Of course - any specific q's on the Estonian one? It's run by a bunch of former colleagues and I was around for a bit of the early planning/discussion. Happy to share what I can
