Nomad community
Large
Lisbon pairs a genuine, legal path to long-term EU residency (the D8 visa) with a nomad scene big enough to have its own dedicated coworking neighborhoods, all wrapped in Atlantic light and pastel-tiled hills.
Why nomads love it
- Legal path to EU residency via the D8 visa
- Excellent public healthcare and safety
- Huge, well-organized nomad and startup community
Watch out for
- Rents have risen sharply — book housing well in advance
- D8 visa paperwork takes real lead time; don't leave it to the last minute
