Live and Work Remotely in Portugal Legally
Portugal is one of Europe’s top destinations for remote workers — offering a mild climate, fast internet, excellent quality of life, and access to the entire Schengen Area. The Portugal Digital Nomad Visa, officially called the D8 Visa, allows non-EU remote professionals to live in Portugal while working for foreign companies or clients.
At Borderless Lawyers, we help freelancers, remote employees, and entrepreneurs secure the Digital Nomad Visa quickly and compliantly.
✅ What Is the Portugal Digital Nomad Visa?
The D8 Visa is a residence permit for remote workers who:
-
Work for a company or clients based outside of Portugal
-
Have sufficient income to support themselves during their stay
-
Want to reside in Portugal for 1 year or longer
It’s part of Portugal’s strategy to attract global talent and is one of the most nomad-friendly visas in Europe.
