CHECK OUT: IMPORTANT TIPS TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING INTO A NEW CITY

Lisbon & The Algarve, Portugal

Portugal has topped the lists for best digital nomad destinations for years, thanks to the D8 Digital Nomad Visa that gives non-EU families a legally clear path to residency while earning income from abroad. This Visa program is one of the most well-structured visa frameworks in Europe. In places like Lisbon, you’re welcomed into a plethora of international school options, a deep expat community, and reliable high-speed internet across the city. 

If you’re looking to take up residence with your family in a more spacious environment with lower rents, the Algarve is where to go. It offers sun-drenched coastal living without sacrificing connectivity or quality schooling. The calm pace, low crime rate, and English-friendly environment are some of the reasons why digital nomad families choose it.

This destination remains top choice thanks to its EU stability, easier path to long-term residency or citizenship, excellent public healthcare, and a culture that is genuinely warm toward families with children.

Valencia, Spain

Thanks to Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa being one of Europe’s most active, families are choosing to move to top cities in Spain. With over 27,000 visas being issued as at the end of 2024, nomad families can now relocate here.

With Madrid and Barcelona getting the headlines, Valencia is where savvy nomad families are quietly setting up. The rental market in Valencia is just a fraction of Barcelona’s, and with the Mediterranean coastline and the city’s extensive bilingual school network, most digital nomad families will rather stay here than in Barcelona or Madrid.

Here, public schools are free for resident children, and there’s a local food market culture that allows family feeding to sit on a reasonable budget.

If you earn up to €2,849/month, you have the income threshold to apply for the digital nomad visa, and there’s also a straightforward family extension process. In Valencia, access to world-class healthcare infrastructure and an excellent domestic transport system make it easy to choose this destination.

Tallinn, Estonia

Estonia is one of the world’s most digitally advanced nations, and it offers a strong infrastructure that digital nomads can plug into. There’s a network of fiber internet across the country, easy access to e-government services that eliminate paperwork, and a startup ecosystem that makes room for easier professional connections. It’s perfect for tech-sector families that prefer to settle in Europe but in a new setting. We can easily help you apply for Tallinn’s Digital Nomad Visa, and gain access to one of Europe’s most livable urban environments.

For families with kids, the international schools serve a growing expat population, and Estonia’s safety record is among the best on the continent.

Generally, the cost of living is meaningfully lower than in Western Europe. It has a solid healthcare system, and its EU membership provides the same long-term stability as Portugal or Spain. Tallinn is perfect for families who want to plug into a high-skill professional network while raising children in a calm and beautiful setting.

Penang, Malaysia

Malaysia is another destination worth considering, being one of the first Southeast Asian countries to launch a formal digital nomad visa, the De Rantau visa.

Most families are choosing Penang as their prime destination, thanks to its multicultural design. Here, Malay, Chinese, and Indian communities coexist in the same city and English is widely-spoken.

International schooling is equally abundant and affordable here. You’ll find apartments with rooftop pool access starting at around £1000/month, and even local restaurants offer a good palate for under £10.

Also, Penang’s international airport provides strong connectivity across Southeast Asia and beyond, and the food scene is considered one of the best in Asia; a perfectly enjoyable factor, if you’ll be staying months rather than days.

Da Nang, Vietnam

Da Nang, is the quiet achiever of Southeast Asian nomad destinations. It has a beach, a manageable city size, a growing international school scene, reliable coworking infrastructure, and some of the lowest costs of coastal living anywhere in Asia.

While Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City attract more attention, Da Nang offers unbeatable calm, which is just the perfect condition for raising a family. Here, children can easily ride bikes to the beach before school, while parents get to focus on work without the noise and congestion of a megacity. You’re not likely to exhaust your family’s monthly budget here like in other bigger Asian towns.

The internet speed across the city is also strong, and you’ll find well-established coworking spaces here. Also, Vietnam’s expanding e-visa system makes entry quite straightforward.

If you’re looking to move cities with family across Europe and Asia as a digital nomad, these five destinations are worth considering for a mix of the best work, family, and living experiences.
