The new program allows visitors to live and work for up to a year in Portugal and it was launched Oct 30, 2022.
The popularity of Portugal among remote workers is due to several reasons, including the low cost of living, mild weather, an abundance of co-working spaces, connections to major European cities, and the country's fluency in English.
By launching the new digital nomad visa, Portugal will join the list of countries that already offer such opportunities to all internationals who plan to work remotely.
Portugal is one of the few European countries to currently offer a long-stay visa to remote workers and digital nomads. With this visa, you can live in Portugal for up to one year and work remotely from one of the hottest digital nomad hotspots in the world.
