Workers can apply to live and work remotely from Portugal for a year under the country’s new digital nomad visa scheme, which opens for applications this month.
Visa options in Portugal
The favorable ranking came despite Portugal not having an official digital nomad visa to date. Options have included the D7 visa, which was designed for retirees but used by people of all ages wanting to live and work abroad. Anyone can apply for it as long as their income is above the local minimum wage, but it does require holders to stay in the country for a certain amount of months each year.
Another alternative is the Golden Visa. In exchange for investment of at least 350,000 euros which must be held for at least five years, Portuguese residency can be gained. Holders of the Golden Visa only have to stay in the country for a week each year to keep their status. Criticism about these programs has been widespread: Some argue that they, especially the Golden Visa, could be used as a way to"buy" citizenship, while others are mostly concerned about the influx of foreigners driving up prices for locals.
