This guide explains how to get a Portuguese work visa or Portuguese work permit, and which residence permit you need based on your work in Portugal.

It is possible to get a Portuguese Residence Permit as a freelancer self-employed worker or an entrepreneur. Non-EU foreign nationals wanting to set up a small business or pursue freelance work in Portugal go through the same process to get a Portuguese resident visa as employees. However, the residence permit you will be granted is specific to self-employed workers, requiring extra documentation related to your business activities and business or self-employment registration with the tax office.

What is a Startup Visa?

Startup visa program, unofficially labeled as Startup Visa, is a temporary conditional residence permit for entrepreneurs who want to build a company in Japan but don’t have enough time and money to apply for a business manager visa. To qualify for the visa, it is necessary to prove that the applicant will launch and operate an innovative business in one of the selected municipalities, or so-called National Strategic Special Zones. The startup visa scheme allows entrepreneurs for a maximum of one year to get an innovative new business off the ground.

Can you apply from Overseas?

Yes, you can. However, you need to hire an administrative scrivener (行政書士, gyosei shoshi), often known as a immigration specialist, to submit all the paperwork on your behalf. You can’t ask any Japanese person or friend residing in Japan — it should be a certified person with an appropriate license.
