Find out answers to frequently asked questions about life and investment in Portugal
Does my business need to be successful to get permanent residency in Portugal under the D2 Visa?
Business failure alone does not automatically disqualify you, but you should be able to demonstrate that you have:  Actively operated your business  Contributed to the Portuguese economy, even on a small scale  Maintained legal compliance, including taxes and social security  Sustained yourself financially while residing in Portugal If your original business is no longer viable, transitioning to another activity or source of income may still support your residency renewal, as long as your overall situation remains stable and compliant.
What support or incentives are available for new businesses?
Portugal offers a range of advantages, including:  Access to the EU single market  Government incentives and startup support programs  A strong ecosystem for tech and international businesses  Competitive operating costs compared to other EU countries
What taxes will my company pay in Portugal?
Businesses are generally subject to:  Corporate income tax (starting around 20%)  VAT (IVA) where applicable  Social security contributions for employees Proper tax planning is essential, especially for new residents under the D2 pathway.
What are the costs involved in setting up a business and applying for a D2 visa?
Costs typically include:  Company registration fees  Legal and advisory support  Minimum share capital (typically minimal for Lda companies)  Visa application and relocation costs The overall investment depends on the complexity of your business and visa strategy.
Do I need to be physically in Portugal to set up a business?
Not necessarily. Many steps, including obtaining a NIF and company registration, can be completed remotely through legal representatives or specialised service providers, although certain actions (like banking) may require in-person verification.
