US #expat in Portugal. Here to share my journey, life, and help future expats looking to move to #Portugal. Ask me anything about the #D8Visa, #D7Visa or Portuguese #GoldenVisa.

Not a lawyer or financial advisor.
Some great news (and some not good news) reported on Portuguese Visa processing. AIMA has supposedly cleared its’ massive backlog. Here’s to hoping processing times start to return to normal soon. #d8Visa #PortugalVisa #digitalnomad portugaldecoded.substack.com/p/nearly-340...
Nearly 34,000 immigrants to be ordered to leave Portugal
South Asians top the list of immigrants who may have to leave the country after their residency applications were denied by AIMA. Nearly two out of every ten cases reviewed were rejected.

Took a trip back to #Chicago for #stpaddys. Love the dying of the river. My husband has clearly had enough of my Irish jokes.

A question I get asked a lot on Reddit regarding the D8 Digital Nomad Visa:
Can I be an #expat W-2 employee for a US company working remotely in #Portugal.

The answer is complex. Technically, yes you can but, and oh boy is it a big but, your company must register as a corporate entity

Being an #expat has been a dream come true, life outside of the US is so so different. I love how laid back everyone is no rush to be anywhere or do anything, even in #Lisbon. In Chicago everyone was always in a rush. A bit of an adjustment period to get used to everyone/everything being late though

Did you know the #Portugal long term #D8 Visa offers a pathway to Portuguese citizenship? It’s one of the few #DigitalNomad Visas that can lead to citizenship. And Portugal allows dual citizenship with the US.

The beautiful Rua Augusta in #Lisbon. Always one of my favorite streets to visit in #Portugal. Lots of shops and restaurants and gorgeous tile, as usual. Love the #ruaaugustaarch in the background.
