Portugal D8 Visa (2024)
The dedicated remote worker visa that replaced the D7 for active income earners. It demands a higher monthly income but clearly outlines the legal framework for digital nomads settling in Portugal.
The Hard Numbers
- Monthly Income Requirement: €3,280 (4x Portuguese Minimum Wage)
- Tax Status: Standard progressive rates (NHR is phasing out)
- Processing Time: 3-4 months (apply via consulate)
- Path to Citizenship: 5 years of legal residency
The End of NHR
Portugal's Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) tax scheme, which provided a flat 20% tax on certain domestic incomes and exemptions on foreign income, is effectively ending. New D8 applicants in 2024 generally fall under standard Portuguese progressive tax brackets, which can reach up to 48%.
