  • We are two Australians that have officially moved to Lisbon, Portugal on the D8 Digital Nomad VISA. In this video, we have compiled all of the requirements and the process of application and acceptance for those in Australia.
    We hope to inspire you of the possibilities of moving to the other side of the world. If we did it, you can too!
    Thank you for watching :)
    See you in Portugal

    I do have a question about savings. Did the Portugese embassy ask you for proof of savings and asked for a specific amount? I’ve seen this requirement floating around but nobody speaks of it. 🤞🏼

      Thanks Camila! We both grew up in Australia in the same town so we wanted to move to a new place to experience new cultures are be close to lots of other travel opportunities. Aus is always our home but it’s amazing how much there is to experience being in Europe not a 30hr flights away haha

    Hey Lach and Shan! Thank you so much for this informative video. I’ve been trying to find out more information for this visa specifically from / for Australians. Are you able to travel around other Schengen areas whilst on the temporary or resident visa? Or are you only permitted to stay in Portugal because you only get the 2 arrival stamps? Thank you so much ☺️

      Resident means that you live/reside there and aren't short term. You can apply for citizenship after 5 years and become a full citizen of the country.

    Hello! Thank you for the video! I had a question in regards to booking your accommodations on uni places. We’re you able to book for a year? I looked at the platform and I’m only able to book for 3 months. How did the process go because I had a consultation with a immigration specialist that didn’t recommend using Uniplaces but I feel it’s so convenient to use being far away. Can you explain your process on booking with uniplaces for your paperwork? Thanks I’m advance!

    • @lachxshan
      @lachxshan  3 місяці тому +1

      Hey April! You're very welcome! We originally used Uni places and signed a 1 year rental but the rules are changing lately, if I remember correctly it's 6 months you can legally stay in an air bnb situation. 6 months allowed us enough time to search for a longer term apartment on (Idealista). Please let us know if this answered your question!
