Which visas suit relocating a team to Portugal?

Founders — the D2 visa; highly qualified professionals — D3 or the EU Blue Card; employees under contract — D1; families — family reunification (D6). We match a route to each team member.

How long does relocating a company take?

Registering the legal entity — up to a month. The visa process for the team — from 2–4 months depending on the consulate and visa type. A full relocation of the company with its team usually takes 4–8 months.

What tax benefits are there for employees?

Qualified professionals can obtain the IFICI regime ("NHR 2.0") — a flat 20% IRS on Portuguese employment income for 10 years instead of a progressive scale of up to 48%.
