Requirements to qualify for a work visa
Happy 2024 everyone!
I'm new to this website and an hoping to get some advice for whether it's possible for me to live in Portugal. I've had my heart set on moving there for several years now but have been delayed and now am worried I've missed the boat since Brexit.
I run a small online business which I'd like to continue working on remotely when I'm out there, that earns £500 - £800 profit per month. I'd also like to work or volunteer part time out there - I have a BA Hons degree and am qualified to teach English as a foreign language.
From what I understand I don't earn enough to qualify for the self-employment visa, and am not sure if doing part time English teaching would qualify for me to apply for a long term work visa.
Is there a requirement to the number of hours you have to work to qualify for the work visa?
Any advice for a way I can live there is greatly appreciated

Best,
Melissa
