People with talent and resources don't have to confine their life and business ventures to a single nation. Residence by Investment Programs, sometimes referred to as golden visa programs, give wealthy people the opportunity to move and the freedom to live, work, study, and get medical treatment in their new nation.
After 5 years of continuous residence, it may be possible to apply for permanent residency.
The requirements for the Digital Nomad Visa are governed by Law No. 28/2022.
The permit can be renewed up to three times a year after it is first issued for a 12-month term.
