Are you a digital nomad eyeing Portugal as your next remote work destination? We're here to help you find the most suitable visa option that matches your nomadic lifestyle.
Portugal is a prime destination for digital nomads around the globe, thanks to its vibrant culture, beautiful landscapes, and excellent quality of life. Plus, its government acknowledges the evolving work landscape, resulting in several visa options for remote workers.
The D7 visa, also known as the Passive Income Visa, has traditionally been popular among digital nomads. However, the newly introduced D8 visa specifically caters to the needs of remote workers and digital nomads, making it the preferred choice now.
The D8 Digital Nomad Visa is designed for self-employed individuals or remote workers. It grants residence in Portugal for those who can demonstrate they have steady income, whether from employment or other means, and can work remotely.
Although the D7 Visa is not explicitly designed for digital nomads, many remote workers have used this visa in the past. The D7 requires proof of substantial regular income, like retirement benefits or rental income.
When choosing the best visa for your digital nomad lifestyle, consider your unique circumstances, the nature of your income, and your long-term plans.
