02 — REMOTE WORK & RESIDENCE

A door for every income.

Portugal’s residence framework is unusually clear: a working visa, a passive-income visa, and an investor route. All lead to the same long-term residence rights, all to the same five-year citizenship clock.

For remote workers and self-employed professionals serving foreign clients. Minimum income €3,680/month (four times the Portuguese minimum wage). One-year residence visa convertible to a two-year residence permit, then renewable.

PREMIUM TALENT STREAM

The D8, properly prepared.

The D8 is two visas, not one — a four-month residence visa issued by the Consulate, followed by an AIMA (formerly SEF) appointment in Portugal for the two-year residence permit. Most refusals come from the gap between the two stages.
We plan both legs from day one: NIF and Portuguese bank account opened remotely, lease lined up before consular submission, AIMA appointment pre-booked. The dossier is built around a clean transition, not just a clean filing.
