Visa, Banking, and Company Services for Lisbon-Based Nomads
Lisbon offers some of the best conditions for digital nomads in Europe: legal residency via the D8 visa and a world-class quality of life. We help remote workers navigate the full setup from visa application to banking and company formation.
Who this is for
- Non-EU remote workers planning to relocate to Lisbon or Porto
- Nomads who want a European base with a pathway to EU permanent residency
- Those interested in Portugal's tax regime for new residents (IFICI/NHR 2.0)
- Entrepreneurs seeking a Schengen base with access to the EU single market
Lisbon has become one of Europe's leading digital nomad cities, combining Atlantic coastline, affordable (by Western European standards) cost of living, excellent English proficiency, and a welcoming expat scene. Portugal's D8 Digital Nomad Visa provides a remote-work residence route. The former NHR tax regime was revoked from 2024, subject to transitional rules; IFICI is a distinct incentive for specified activities. Consult a Portuguese tax adviser.

Frequently asked questions
What income do I need for Portugal's D8 Visa?
An official Portuguese consular remote-work checklist requires average monthly income over the preceding three months of at least four times the Portuguese minimum wage (€3,680/month using the €920 minimum wage in 2026). Confirm current and dependant requirements with your consulate; we advise on income documentation during onboarding.
What is Portugal's tax regime for new residents?
The former NHR regime was revoked from 2024, subject to transitional rules. IFICI is a distinct incentive for specified activities, not an automatic D8 benefit. A Portuguese tax adviser should assess eligibility and any transitional rights - we can connect you with one.
How long does the D8 visa process take?
The Portuguese consular stage typically takes 4-8 weeks for appointment scheduling, plus a further 2-4 weeks for processing after submission. We advise on booking consular appointments early and managing the process end to end.
Can I bring my family to Portugal on the D8?
Yes. Spouses and dependent children can apply for accompanying family reunification visas alongside the D8 principal applicant. Income thresholds increase for family applications. We include family application guidance in our service.
