There is no category called 'digital nomad' in the text of Agreement IGM-016-2025 (searching the PDF returns neither 'nómada' nor 'digital'). What exists is temporary residency as a migrant worker with a foreign employer (article 11.2): bank statements evidencing remuneration from abroad 'of a minimum amount of two thousand United States dollars per month (US$2,000.00), received over the past year', US$3,000 if dependants accompany the applicant; an apostilled certified public accountant's certification is an alternative; for NGOs and international organizations only an employment certificate plus medical insurance is required; no guarantor; 1–5 years; fees of US$200/300/500 (dossier 12). The other sub-categories are the migrant worker with a Guatemalan employer (article 11.1: offer letter plus guarantor, up to five years) and the self-employed worker (article 11.3: a notarial deed setting out the activity, location, start date and projected income, the RTU and authorization to trade). The practical difference from a typical nomad visa: this is a temporary residency with a full file, apostilled background checks, an interview and biometrics, not a simplified entry permit; the actual decision time is not published.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
