Portugal: D8 remote work residence visa

The D8 is Portugal's residence visa for remote work. The consular visa site asks for proof of average monthly income over the last three months equal to four times the monthly minimum wage, which is EUR 920 in 2026, so EUR 3,680 per month.

The 2026 minimum wage of EUR 920 per month is net of social security deductions, as stated on the page on means of subsistence.

• For employees: a work contract or a declaration from the employer confirming the employment link.
• For self-employed applicants: a company contract, a service provision contract, or a document showing services provided to one or more entities.
• Proof of average monthly income for the last three months at the level above.
• A document showing your fiscal residence.
• The general documents for every national visa: application form, photos, passport, travel insurance and criminal record certificate.

The consular post may ask for additional documents at its discretion.

1. Choose the remote work (D8) residence visa on the consular visa site.
2. Collect the work and income documents listed above, plus the general national visa documents.
3. Submit them at the Portuguese consular post that serves your place of residence, which may request further documents.
