Digital Nomad loves working in Portugal

 Living the remote work dream from Portugal? Why rent when you can buy? Even if you're earning from abroad, you may qualify for a mortgage to purchase property here.

1. Who Qualifies? 

Foreign nationals with:

  • Full-time remote contracts
  • Freelance income (with proof)
  • Company ownership with regular income

2. Documentation

Regardless of each case, the following three documents are necessary for processing. Additional required documentation is subject to change with each case.

  • At least 1-2 years of stable income history
  • Bank statements of the last 3-6 months
  • Tax returns

3. Down Payments & Terms

Expect to contribute 10-30% as a deposit. Mortgages can run up to 40 years (depending on your age).

4. Self-Employed? 

It’s still possible — just be ready to show income consistency and provide tax filings or accountant letters.

5. Why Work With a Broker?
