nómadas digitais (digital nomads)
This is what the Portuguese authorities call people who live in the country but work remotely for clients outside it. It is not just an informal label: the page of the programme supporting moves to the interior lists it as a separate case.
Where you come across it. Pages about the remote work visa, the conditions of support schemes, conversations about tax on foreign income.
What matters to the authorities is not what you call yourself but your papers: a contract with a client abroad, a valid visa or residence permit, and income no lower than the national minimum wage.
