What is the Portugal D8 Digital Nomad Visa?

The D8 is Portugal's dedicated remote-work visa for people employed by or owning companies outside Portugal. It grants an initial 4-month entry visa that converts to a 2-year residence permit on arrival, renewable for further 2-year periods.

How much income do I need for the Portugal D8 visa?

Approximately €3,480 per month (4× the Portuguese minimum wage). You must demonstrate this through employment contracts, payslips, or business income evidence. Requirements can change — always verify current thresholds with your consulate.

Can I form a company in Portugal?

Yes. Portugal supports standard EU company structures. Nomadic Go provides company formation assistance in Portugal with fixed pricing and full document handling.

How does banking work in Portugal for non-residents?

Portugal has a standard EU banking system. Non-residents can open accounts at major banks, though the process requires in-person visits or notarised documents. Nomadic Go provides personal banking assistance in Portugal.

How long does it take to get Portuguese citizenship?

Portuguese citizenship is available after 5 years of legal residency. This is among the shorter EU pathways and grants an EU passport with full Schengen travel rights.

Can Russian or Belarusian passport holders apply for the Portugal D8 visa?

As of mid-2026, Russian and Belarusian nationals can technically apply for the Portugal D8 Digital Nomad Visa, but face enhanced scrutiny, longer processing times, and a higher rate of consulate-level delays compared to other nationalities. Portugal has not formally suspended D8 applications from Russian/Belarusian nationals, but EU-wide sanctions and consulate discretion mean outcomes are less predictable. Supporting documentation — including income evidence, clean criminal record certificates, and proof of lawful residence outside Russia/Belarus — is especially important. This situation is subject to change based on EU policy. Contact our support team for the latest status before purchasing.
