Case study
How FiO supports your mobility as a Digital Nomad
Context
Our client, a freelance graphic designer from the US, envisioned building her career remotely from Portugal. However, navigating visa requirements and establishing a new life abroad in uncertain times presented unique challenges. She needed comprehensive support to make her dream a reality.
Initial Assessment and Planning
Our team assessed the client’s situation, confirming her eligibility for the Digital Nomad Visa. We created a comprehensive roadmap covering documentation requirements, timeline expectations, and the preparations needed for the move to Portugal.
Document preparation and submission
Our team managed the full documentation process, verifying remote work contracts and authenticating income statements. We arranged appropriate health insurance coverage, ensured criminal record certification, and gathered suitable accommodation documentation. Each document was carefully reviewed to ensure compliance with Portuguese immigration requirements, creating a complete and accurate application package.
Administrative Processing
When bureaucratic delays threatened our client’s timeline, we maintained active communication with the relevant authorities. Our team handled all correspondence and the necessary follow-ups to keep the process moving forward.
Relocation Support
After the visa was approved, our team provided end-to-end support throughout the settling-in process. We helped find a rental property that met our client’s requirements, facilitated the opening of a Portuguese bank account, and managed all necessary registrations with local authorities. In addition, we coordinated the setup of essential utilities, ensuring a smooth transition to her new life in Portugal.
Positive Outcome
Today, our client runs her design business from Portugal, maintaining her international client base while enjoying the Portuguese lifestyle. They successfully navigate Portuguese and US tax obligations, fully integrated into the local digital nomad community.
