FAQ

Common questions.

Does my income have to come from abroad?

Yes. The D8 is for income earned from foreign employers or clients. The 2026 guideline is roughly €3,680/month (4× the Portuguese minimum wage), and a savings buffer strengthens the case.

Employee or freelancer — which fits?

Both qualify. Employees show a remote employment contract; freelancers show client agreements. We help you assemble the right evidence either way.

How is the D8 different from the D7?

The D7 is for passive income (pensions, rentals, investments); the D8 is for active remote work income earned from abroad. We confirm the best fit on your call.
