Can the income from online trading like FX, NQ, or ES be eligible for the Portugal Digital Nomad Visa? I do online trading in the New York Exchange and can show my income through the broker I am dealing with. I have an income of around 4,000 euros per month. But is this kind of activity eligible for a Digital Nomad Visa?
Answers
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, in principle, the income from trading activities might be acceptable. However, only a concrete analysis to the existence documental proof would allow a definitive answer.
Unfortunately, it does not. Your income shall be received as a salary or other form of monetary compensation for your work.
