The mainland monthly minimum wage rose from EUR870 to EUR920 on 1 January 2026. Portugal commonly pays employment remuneration in 14 instalments, but visa calculations must follow the wording of the particular immigration rule. The remote-work threshold uses four monthly minimum wages and is therefore EUR3,680 in 2026.
Employees and applicants whose immigration subsistence or income benchmark references the minimum wage.
