These are recorded questions to investigate. This pack does not claim to have resolved your personal circumstances.

🇵🇹 Portugal

Portugal remote-work residence visa and permit (D8)

Portugal's remote-work residence route is for employees and independent professionals working for people or organisations outside Portugal. A qualifying residence visa is followed by an AIMA residence-permit application.

Financial conditions

2026 main-applicant professional income: at least EUR 3,680 per month on average over the previous three months (4 × EUR 920).

Qualifying conditions and capital requirements are separate from application fees.

Documents and requirements

Show the overseas employment or service relationship, proof of tax residence and average monthly professional income over the preceding three months of at least four Portuguese minimum monthly wages. AIMA also requires a valid passport/residence visa, evidence of the foreign work relationship, accommodation and compliance with criminal-record and entry restrictions.

Questions to resolve

A visa or residence card does not itself grant IFICI tax relief; IFICI has separate qualifying-activity and prior-tax-residence conditions. The two-year validity stated here is the initial residence permit from card issuance; AIMA states renewals are for successive three-year periods. It is not the entry-visa duration.
