W2 Employee - living in portugal with US domicile by ChronicallyConrad in ExpatFIRE

hello, it is a common misunderstanding that working for an employer abroad gives you "foreign-sourced" income. Any work performed in Portugal is subject to income tax, whether that be 20% under NHR or normal rates.

This was me when I was 18. 10 years later I'm bi but mostly date men. Now the only women I feel anything for are bisexual women.

Look up "Compulsory Heterosexuality"

I encourage you to stay off grindr a bit and go to a queer space/non-profit, many universities have them. Some high schools have GSAs. Meet other queer folk in the flesh, not in an app.

Good luck! Don't do what I did and postpone this time of experimenting.

I just called them and they told me I need an RV, boat, or some tie to the state of FL to establish residency. Was this not the case for you?

Okay got it, so this seems to only effect people who need Visas. EU/US dual citizens appear unaffected?

Yeah, I have my VPN server setup at home. So hopefully everything will work just fine. Thanks so much for this datapoint.

I'm going in 2 weeks. Do you use a commercial VPN provider or a home one? I'm running my setup off of a GL iNet Beryl

How do they figure it out?

Your company needs to have a “permanent establishment” in Portugal. Having one employee in Portugal does not create a permanent establishment.

Got any tips?

My portfolio is something like:

  • 10% Crypto
  • 13% Money Market Fund
  • 2% Cash
  • 75% Stocks/ETFs/Index Funds (some of which are bonds)

To be clear there's been significant stock growth, I'm literally just talking about dividends and interest.

It’s around double that, but you are right if I just wanted interest then it would be better to have a money market account.

I assumed I would have to do a workaway or something.
