The same media outlet mentions that Portugal’s position is linked to the balance between accessibility and infrastructure.

The one-year digital nomad visa has a reduced fee, which may range from €90 to €120, as well as a monthly income requirement of €3,280.

The most popular destinations for digital nomads in Portugal are Funchal, on Madeira Island, and other areas such as Lisbon and Porto, which have developed remote-working hubs.

The transport links and a growing remote community are also what attract the digital nomads to the country, as well as the country’s lifestyle, which creates a balance between work and access to beaches and outdoor spaces.

Portugal occupies the top spot in the European ranking, followed by Spain, Hungary, Romania and Montenegro.
