Speaking of immigrating to Portugal, many people's first reaction is that the " Golden Visa " that has been operating in China for ten years, that is, immigrants by buying a house. In addition, some people also know that "non-profit" means elderly care visa. People with relatively fewer
will introduce the 88-2 bill, namely, "employment and residence permit without a residence visa".
Simply put, as long as you enter Portugal legally with your passport, you can work and apply for a residence status.
Compared with other countries, this is a very convenient way to obtain identity. In the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia, the visa will strictly indicate whether work is allowed. Holding a visit visa requires a student visa or "black" to work and the next step.
Compared with the golden visa, 88-2 saves you huge investment and the potential "pits" of buying a house.
Compared with the pension sign, 88-2 can work without restrictions.
If you are unwilling to work for others, you can choose 89-2, which is "Self-employment employment permit without a residence visa"
