Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NHR regime in Portugal?
Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) allows qualifying expats to pay a flat 20% income tax on Portuguese-sourced income for 10 years. Certain foreign income may be exempt. This makes Portugal very attractive for remote workers and internationally hired professionals.
Is English widely spoken in Portugal's tech industry?
Yes. Lisbon's startup and tech scene operates almost entirely in English. Major companies like Farfetch, Feedzai, and Unbabel have their hubs there. Portuguese is useful for daily life but not required for most tech roles.
What visa options exist for non-EU workers in Portugal?
The most common is the D3 Highly Qualified Activity Visa, which requires a job offer from a Portuguese employer. Portugal also has one of Europe's most straightforward processes for skilled worker immigration, typically taking 2–4 months.
