Digital Nomad Visa in Portugal
Legal status in Portugal for people who work remotely for a company abroad or run their own business from outside the country.
The Digital Nomad Visa (D8) lets foreigners live in Portugal while working for a foreign employer, owning a foreign company or being self-employed.
Who can get the visa
The digital nomad visa is open to:
- foreign nationals employed by a company outside Portugal;
- owners of a company registered abroad;
- self-employed professionals.
Minimum income
You need to prove a monthly income of at least €3,680 - 4x Portugal's minimum wage (€920 in 2026). You will also need savings of at least €11,040 - 12x the minimum wage.
Cost of living
Rough estimates put monthly expenses for a family of four at about €2,100 excluding rent, and about €600 for a single person. A one-bedroom flat in the city centre rents for around €800 a month; exact figures vary by city - we will check current numbers for your situation.
