Can I bring my family on the Portugal digital nomad visa?
AI Answer
Absolutely, you can bring your family on the Portugal digital nomad visa! Family reunification is a key feature, allowing you to include dependent family members in your application. This covers your spouse, minor children, dependent adult children, and even dependent parents.
The main change is the income requirement. Portugal’s minimum wage is currently €820 per month. For your individual application, you'd need to show income of at least four times that, or €3,280/month. For your first adult dependent (like a spouse), that income requirement increases by 50% to €4,920/month total. Each additional dependent child adds another 25%, or €205 per child. So, for a family of four (you, spouse, two kids), you’d need to show an income of €5,330 per month.
This makes Portugal a great option for families. Just make sure your income comfortably exceeds these thresholds, and gather all the necessary documents for each family member.
