Work legally, issue invoices and comply with tax regulations from day one. If you’re planning to work as a freelancer, contractor, or digital nomad in Portugal, you may need to open a formal activity (início de atividade) with the Portuguese Tax Authority.
At FLOW Legal, we make this process simple and remote — no need to deal with the local bureaucracy on your own.
Registering as a freelancer may be needed if you intend to:
Work remotely from Portugal
Issue legal invoices to clients
Pay taxes and social security contributions properly
Maintain your legal status for visa and residence permits
Comply with Portuguese authorities for any self-employment income
