  Portugal Single Digital Nomad Visa applicants need to demonstrate their means of subsistence. This can be done through their employment contract, demonstrating their average monthly income derived from their professional activity for the past three months. It needs to be at least equal to four times the guaranteed minimum monthly wage in Portugal. For the year 2024, the amount is €3,280 per month for the applicant. Therefore, only income derived from the applicant's professional activity qualifies for the digital nomad visa.

  For the D8 - Digital Nomad Visa application, the law requires "Proof of average monthly income earned while carrying out subordinate or independent professional activity in the last three months of a minimum amount equivalent to four guaranteed minimum monthly wages;" (€3.280,00) as such, by principle, the income proof shall not be acceptable when accumulated with passive income, however, this does not mean that the services, subjectively, might not adopt a more flexible understanding of such criteria when analyzing the application.
