Digital nomads

Thinking about life as a digital nomad in Portugal? While Lisbon and Porto often top lists of the best places in Portugal for digital nomads—with all the perks and some rapidly rising rents—they’re far from your only options.

Remote work in Portugal has truly taken off in recent years, and it’s easy to see why so many people are choosing the country as their base.

The tax exemptions granted to foreign citizens who come to live, invest or work in Portugal have made many people choose the country to live in.

Dubai has become the best destination for digital nomads, according to an annual study by property consultancy Savills. The city in the United Arab Emirates managed to overtake Lisbon, last year's leader in the ranking, which has since fallen to 5th place.

The interest of digital nomads in Portugal has gained strength in recent times, marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and the increase in being able to work from home, something which has boosted and encouraged new lifestyles. So, is Portugal a good place for digital nomads?
