Before you apply

You need the remote job first. Almost every programme asks for a contract or client agreements with companies outside the country, and bank statements showing the income.
Most need you to apply before you travel. With a Nigerian passport you usually need a visa to enter as well. Some countries take applications in Abuja or Lagos; others only at a mission in another country, such as Ghana or Egypt. Each page says where, when we could confirm it.
Tax doesn’t stop at the border. Staying more than about six months in a year often makes you tax resident there. Each country page says what the official source states.
Rules change. We record when each page was last checked and link the official source. Confirm the details there before you pay any fee.
