For people interested in the D2 Visa

A general guideline by XPAT Services for clients interested in opening a business in Portugal.

We recommend a “concept” to open your business in Portugal

  1. Do NOT set up a subsidiary of your business, rather a new business in Portugal.

  2. Your vision should have an expansion plan to open new branches in other cities. (Cascais, Lisbon, Porto, etc.)

  3. Make you business general so you qualify to access grants to secure financial capital.

  4. Set realistic goals for predicting profit, for example 50K Euros in profit, rather than 100K Euros, if you generate more, great!

  • open a restaurant, grocery store, a coffee shop, a or a clothing shop
