Frequently asked questions

Who is the D8 visa for?

The D8 is for people who work remotely as employees or freelancers for companies or clients based outside Portugal and want to live in Portugal while they do so.

What income do I need?

You must show a regular income from remote work at or above a minimum set by Portuguese law, linked to the national minimum wage. We confirm the current figure and the evidence required.

D7 or D8 — which should I choose?

If most of your income is passive — pensions, rentals or investments — the D7 is usually the better fit. If it comes from remote work, the D8 is designed for you.

How much does Portugal digital nomad visa cost?

Costs combine government fees, any required investment or funds, and professional fees. Government fees change from time to time, so we confirm current figures and our own fee in writing after an initial assessment.

Can you guarantee approval?

No adviser can guarantee approval — decisions are made by the relevant authorities. What we can do is assess your eligibility honestly, prepare a complete and consistent application and reduce the risk of avoidable refusals.
