Background
The new visa for digital nomads became available on October
30th 2022, allowing any remote worker or self-employed
individual to pursue their profession in Portugal, enjoying all of
the quality of life that Portugal has to offer.
The Digital Nomad Visa offers good residency options for non-EU
digital nomads who either want to work remotely while living in
Portugal for one year, or wish to make Portugal a permanent
residency. It is also relevant for individuals applying for a
residency permit and following the 5-year path for Portuguese
citizenship or, alternatively, applying for the Portuguese
Permanent Resident Permit.
Overview
With the last amendment of the relevant law, the Portuguese
Government implemented the Digital Nomad Visa, specifically
allowing foreign professionals to provide their services remotely,
either as a subordinate worker or as an independent worker from
Portugal, and to apply for residency in Portugal.
