Portugal — Residency: Digital Nomad Visa
Portugal offers a residence pathway for remote workers through its Digital Nomad Visa framework, designed for individuals employed by foreign companies or operating independent businesses while living in Portugal. Applicants are generally expected to demonstrate regular income from sources outside Portugal and satisfy financial, accommodation, and health insurance requirements. The programme is intended for individuals whose professional activities can be performed remotely. Successful applicants may obtain temporary residence and, subject to continued compliance with Portuguese immigration law, may renew their residence and potentially qualify for permanent residence or citizenship after the applicable residence period.
