Portugal visa guides for Brazilians
CPLP Residence Permit
workThe CPLP advantage narrowed sharply under the 2025–2026 reforms: Brazilian citizenship alone no longer unlocks a simplified residence route. You now need the consular residence visa matching your purpose (work, study, D7, D8) before AIMA issues the CPLP-format permit. What remains: reduced fees for Brazilians (€58.10 online renewals) and citizenship eligibility after 7 years of legal residence instead of 10.
D8 Digital Nomad Visa
nomadFor remote workers employed by (or invoicing) non-Portuguese companies, earning at least 4× the Portuguese minimum wage — €3,680/month since Jan 2026 (+50% spouse, +30% per child) — plus savings of about €11,040. Grants residency with a path to citizenship; as a CPLP national you qualify for citizenship after 7 years instead of 10.
