| Rule for you (4 × minimum wage) | €3,680 |
| Total per month | €3,680 |

| Difference | + €320 |
| Per year | €44,160 |
How it was calculated
The D8 visa asks for income from remote work of at least 4 times the Portuguese minimum wage. In 2026 the minimum wage is €920, so the rule is €3,680 a month, on average over the last 3 months. The same rule applies to the residence visa and to the temporary stay visa.
For family members, the usual benchmark adds 50% of the minimum wage (€460 a month) for each extra adult and 30% (€276) for each child, shown through higher income or savings. The savings check here uses 12 months of that top-up as a rough guide. Consulates can ask for more, so this is a guide, not legal advice.
