Living and working in Portugal for the climate
Living and working in Portugal has many advantages, but the biggest benefit is still living in the Portuguese heat: waking up to sunshine in the morning, going for a walk in just a T-shirt in the middle of February… Sounds good, doesn’t it? ☀️
There are so many beautiful places that it can be difficult to choose where to live in Portugal. If you decide to live in Lisbon, you will be working in the sunniest European capital. You could also choose to live in Porto, Portugal’s other major city, where summers are hot and springs are pleasant (the perfect climate, in our opinion 😌). And if you’re a beach lover, you should consider moving to the Algarve, one of the most beautiful regions in Portugal. You’ll have the chance to work remotely from the beach! 😍

Quality of life when you move to Portugal
As we’ve seen above, the weather and cost of living mean you can enjoy a very good standard of living wherever you choose to work in Portugal. You will also have the chance to immerse yourself in a new culture while meeting people with similar interests. Portugal is full of digital nomads, freelancers and remote workers who have chosen to try living the Portuguese way. That’s why you’ll find plenty of co-working spaces where you can work remotely while eating Pasteis de Nata 🤤
How can you find a job online in Portugal?
The easiest way to find a job online is to ask yourself: what am I doing today that I could do remotely? Of course, if you work in the restaurant industry, it’s a little more complicated, but if you work in marketing or design, for example, you might be able to do your job from another country? (Just an idea, eh? 😜)
And if you’ve already moved to Portugal to live and work, there are many multinational companies looking for international candidates. Some of the biggest companies have their customer service departments based in Portugal, so they have lots of remote work opportunities available.

Do I need a visa?
If you are European, you do not need a visa to work remotely in Portugal. If you are from a country outside Europe, you can live in Portugal for 90 days on a tourist visa, and if you want to stay longer, you should consider applying for a D7 visa when you leave to work in Portugal.
