To qualify for the visa, you must show that you earn €3,480 (four times Portugal’s minimum wage) each month. You’ll need to provide proof of this income for the past three months, such as bank statements or pay slips.

This visa is for people who work remotely for companies or clients outside Portugal. You'll need to provide a work contract, service agreements, or a letter from your employer to prove that your job is remote and foreign-based.

If you get the visa, you will only pay 15% tax on your income for the first four years, which is much lower than Portugal’s normal 25% tax rate. After four years, the tax rate goes back to the standard 25%.

Fully completed and signed by you. (If you are a minor or incapacitated, a legal guardian must sign the form.)

Passport-style photos that are clear and in good condition (one for the form and one for the application).

Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your planned return date. You will also need to provide a photocopy of the biographical page.

Documents showing that you earn at least €3,480 per month. This can include:

Bank statements or pay slips for the last three months.

Work contract or service contract if you are employed or self-employed.

Letter from your employer confirming your remote work status.

Evidence that you have a place to stay for at least one year, such as:

Rental agreement or property ownership documents.

Letter from a host (if staying with someone).

Proof of valid health insurance that covers you during your stay in Portugal. Some countries have agreements with Portugal that may waive this requirement (e.g., Brazil, UK).

A document showing your tax residence in your home country (such as a tax return or tax certificate).

A cover letter explaining the purpose of your stay, how you meet the visa requirements, and your plans while in Portugal.

Proof of payment for the visa application fee (usually around €180, but this may vary depending on your location).
