Move to Portugal as a digital nomad.

The D8 visa allows non-EU/EEA citizens to live and work in Portugal while earning income from abroad. It’s designed for remote workers, freelancers, and online business owners. It grants a 2-year residence permit, renewable for 3 more years. After 5 years, you can apply for permanent residency.

The core requirements are: a minimum monthly income of €3,680 from remote work outside Portugal, a clean criminal record, health insurance, proof of accommodation in Portugal, a Portuguese NIF, and a Portuguese bank account. Income thresholds increase if you’re applying with a spouse or dependents. Requirements can vary slightly by consulate, which is one of the reasons it helps to have someone guide you through the process.
