Does a 5yr dtv visa require 5yrs left on a passport?
Answer summary
A 5-year Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) does not require your passport to have 5 years of validity left. You only need to have at least 6 months remaining on your passport when applying for the DTV. If your passport expires while the DTV is active, you must carry both the old and the new passports until the DTV expires.

No. You must have at least 6 months remaining at the time you apply for the DTV.

If the passport expires while your DTV is active, you carry both passports until your DTV expires.
