A new SIMPLIFIED VISA FOR DIGITAL NOMADS

Since the beginning of November, Portugal has Visas available for digital nomads (self-employed) and remote workers (employed by a non-Portuguese company) from any country in the world. The requirements are quite simple because the main focus of this new Visa/Residence Permit is to attract high-skilled residents to Portugal. The Portuguese Government is convinced that, once you live in Portugal, you will never want to leave, attracting wealth with this simple strategy. After the innovative Golden Visa and D7 Visa, the Portuguese Authorities are, once again, one step ahead by attracting a whole new class of residents.

The European Union's Gem

If you are a Digital Nomad or a Remote Worker, this is your opportunity to settle in a country that is considered European Union’s Gem.
