Our story

Two journeys
We both left home at 18, one from Munich and one from France. For years, our journeys were entirely separate.
We met in a coworking space on Koh Tao in early 2026. The island became the beginning of our shared story and part of our name: Digital + Tao.
Linda is now building a base in Lisbon too, sharing her year between Portugal and the rest of the world. DigiTao gathers the stories and practical questions that come with life between places.
We share the details that make arrival easier: paperwork, budgets, reliable places to work, and the small routines that make somewhere feel familiar.

Stories from the road

Published
Of the three countries we cover, Thailand's DTV is the easiest digital nomad visa to get, Portugal's D8 the most demanding, and Vietnam has none. Thresholds, fees and delays.

None of our three countries leaves a resident's foreign income untaxed. Thailand taxes what you bring in, Portugal and Vietnam tax what you earn. Rules, rates and day counts.

Thailand is better on visas and hospitals, Vietnam is cheaper by about a quarter and now tests faster on national internet speed. Four criteria, dated sources.
