visto de residência para empreendedores e trabalhadores independentes
A visa for those who start their own business in Portugal or work for themselves under contracts with local clients. You are usually asked for a business plan, start-up funds and proof that the business is actually up and running. It often goes hand in hand with opening your atividade at the Finanças.
Where you come across it. The consulate, if you are going to run a business or freelance in Portugal.
D2 is for working for yourself in Portugal; D8 is for remote work for employers or clients abroad. The two are constantly confused.
