Portugal & Spain D8 Visa • Remote Workers & Digital Nomads

  • D8 Residency Visa (Long-Term): Grants a 2-year AIMA Residency Card (renewable for +3 years), counting toward Portuguese Citizenship.
  • D8 Temporary Stay Visa: Ideal for a 12-month European experience with multiple entries across the Schengen Area.
  • Employees & Independent Contractors: We legally structure your employer authorization letters or B2B contractor agreements.
