Frequently Asked Questions for D8 Clients
What qualifies as "Remote Work" proof?
For employees, we ensure your employer’s declaration explicitly states you can work from Portugal. For freelancers, we audit your service contracts to show a stable, ongoing relationship with your clients.
Can I switch from the D8 to a Permanent Residency?
Yes. If you choose the Residency path, our services help you maintain your status for the full 5 years required to apply for Permanent Residency or a Portuguese Passport.
Is my salary taxed in Portugal?
Generally, if you spend more than 183 days in Portugal, you become a tax resident. We can provide guidance on current tax incentives for high-value professionals to optimize your transition.
