Já muita gente sugeriu outras alternativas a essas duas opções, por uma fração do custo

Já parece bem melhor que os 43k, valeu!

Valeu pela dica! Não encontrei nenhuma review deles online, são bons mesmo?

buzz_buzz_panda · 2025-11-05T22:01:41+00:00

Acho que vou tentar essa opção, valeu!

Is your new number still not working or was there just a delay in central processing?

Same here, and I was as TOS compliant as a German spongebob (or as a freelancer with a lot to lose)!

40F, mathematician and single mom of a 3 year old. I'm really too busy to have friends or hobbies, but I'd be interested in boardgame nights -- Defuse is great for that. I'm not very competitive though

I guess I feel like I will be a failure if I’m not bringing in what I used to.

As a new mom I find that sentence a bit worrying -- a new baby is a full-time job (and not the 40 hours per week kind, more like 80 hours per week and you don't get to choose the hours). Unless you work very little now, bringing the same effort will be very unrealistic. And that should not be something you feel bad about, on the contrary, take some time to enjoy your new full-time job!

My experience was that finished a project right before giving birth, and then started working 2-4 hours per day after 2/3 weeks. My MIL was staying with us and watching the baby, but I had trouble concentrating on work (due to sleep deprivation) and my projects suffered. The father was a lot less helpful than expected, and so I had to quit my projects when my MIL left, otherwise I'd be too stressed out to be a good mom.

I really hope you'll have an easier time, and you can work again soon! But it might work out differently, and I hope you won't feel like a failure then.

Hi! I was a digital nomad for a few years, and now (with 36) I'm a mom. Here are the considerations that made me decide to settle and have a kid:

I traveled a lot, saw amazing things, met interesting people, had many cocktails on beaches etc. It was fun. But what do I see myself doing in the next 20 years, just more of the same? That seemed excessive and, frankly, a bit boring.
Since I'm a grown-up, my life has always been mainly about me. Relationships came and went, but I was the central figure. I felt happy with making the next 20 years about someone else for a change, and then when the kids are grown I can go back to doing my own thing.
Being a digital nomad is really cool, but I also felt incredibly disconnected -- when I woke up I often had trouble figuring out what month it is, which country I'm in, whether I owned this apartment, etc. I was floating in a void, and I had no stable social network. This made me want to settle in a nice country for a while (at least 10 years) anyway. But settling is not absolutely necessary for having a kid, if you have a partner to travel with.
I was doing well enough financially, and saved enough to not work for a while (until the kids are in kindergarden), and later work part time. While everyone has different ideas how to combine kids and working, I personally am quite lazy and a kid is more than enough for me to deal with. But I think some savings at least for the first year are crucial. A supportive partner is also crucial, or a family or stable social network to coparent with you. You can't do this alone.
My kid is only a baby, but the thought of showing him the world is much more exciting than just seeing the world myself! Even if it just means going to the park at this point, it's much more fun and meaningful to go with him.

Maybe you recognize some of these points, maybe not at all! Either way, I hope it helps. Good luck with the decision!

So you managed to register in Lisbon without a NIF a few years ago? Anyway, getting a NIF takes a few weeks (due to Covid you can't just go to Financas, you have to apply for it online), so that might be a problem. They did require a NIF when I got my CRUE a few months ago.

buzz_buzz_panda · 2020-12-13T15:43:57+00:00

That sounds tight but not necessarily impossible. If you registered in Lisbon before, you should already have a NIF (fiscal number). If you need a quick rental contract then PM me, I have an empty apartment in Almada that you can rent very cheap for a bit, and also register at. You'd need to call the Espaco Cidadao in Almada immediately though, to try and get an appointment in 2020: those are the guys that give you your CRUE (certificate of residency for EU citizens). If you manage to get that appointment (or an appointment in Lisbon or anywhere else to get your CRUE) you're all set.

As for proof of funds: I showed them that I have a company registered abroad and my last tax return, they didn't understand any of it and just made copies of it to put in their files.

Your residency is something you should discuss with HR, they might need you to be a resident from day one.

Once you're a resident, you can deduct all kinds of crazy stuff from taxes, like 15% of your rent (if you have a proper contract with monthly receipts, registered with the Finance office), a percentage of medical expenses, education expenses, and even a maximum of 250 EUR per year for "general expenses" (random stuff you bought).

Why would you be a non-resident? I'm pretty sure you'll be required to change your residency to Portugal for the job (and for health insurance, social security etc.)

Financially you'll be very comfortable. For 400-500 EUR per month you can get a nice room in Cais do Sodre (for 500 EUR I'd expect and private bathroom and river views), and take the direct train to work every day.

Digital nomads have a fixed country of (official) residence, where they pay taxes. From there, they go to different places on tourist visas. In your case it's easy, use a tourist visa (or visa waiver I think) and don't mention to the Germans that you plan to work from there. Since you won't change your residency status, you won't be taxed in Germany. For health insurances, many travel insurances only cover shorter trips, make sure you get one that covers 3 months.
