In short, you may qualify if you:
-
already hold a digital nomad visa from another country, or
-
are 30+ with annual income of US$40,000, or
-
are 20–29 with annual income of US$20,000.
⠀Our three stay options are built around this rhythm. from a 5-day sprint to a 30-day island experiment.

Most nomad destinations sell more. Matsu sells less.
More cafés. More meetups. More nightlife. That's the promise of most digital nomad hubs.
Matsu offers the opposite: fewer distractions, fewer notifications, less noise.
This building was once a Cold War "comfort station" . a place of confinement and silence. We didn't erase that past. We translated it: into a base for free, focused creation. During Matsu's spring fog season, flights are grounded and the whole island enters "offline mode." For a remote worker, that isn't an inconvenience. It's the deepest focus you'll find anywhere.
In a city, your attention is fragmented. Here, your time belongs only to your work.
Military-grade infrastructure. Gallery-grade living.
