1. Apply for Passive Income Visa

If you have any passive income, like investments, savings, rental agreements incomes or pensions, you can apply for the passive income visa.

A Digital Nomad in Portugal could be subject to Portuguese Personal Income Tax. This occurs when any remote worker (i) spends more than 183 days physically in Portugal within a 12-month period, whether these days are consecutive or not (ii) for shorter stays where the person has a dwelling in Portugal and there’s the presumption of holding and occupying it as a place of habitual residence. If one of these situations occurs, the person is considered a Portuguese Tax Resident and must declare their worldwide income, which includes remote work income.

Furthermore, Digital Nomads are subject to tax on Portuguese sourced income even if they are not a local tax resident.

How to minimise Portuguese taxes?

To avoid double taxation, Digital Nomads must prove that they are a tax resident in another country, according to the rules of the relevant Tax Treaty. They must provide the Portuguese Tax Authority a tax residency certificate.

Lexidi, Ms. Eleni Menderaki, helped me to issue an importer EORI nunber and authorization to DHL to enable clearing goods which were shipped from a non-EU country. Without help, Customs procedures were very cumbersome, but very professional and efficient service from Lexidi made it easy and sucessful. Very pleasant friendly conduct by Eleni.

Genuinely welcoming and friendly! As well as very knowledgeable, professional and have great integrity. We hit a few bumps in my visa process but I was supported the whole way through and didn't give up and I was finally successful in my application thanks to their hard work going above and beyond. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone and I would certainly use Lexidy again.

I can't recommend Lexidy enough. They made our move to Greece incredibly smooth and went up and beyond their regular legal duties to help my family. They new all the ins and outs of the Greek immigration, and the whole process went flawlessly all due to their expertise. Thank you so much! And we will definitely use their services for many years to come.
