Portugal Digital Nomad Visa for a man from Egypt to secure European residency in a month
I cannot even explain how much I panicked when I realised I was running out of time to renew my residence permit in Italy. It was a disaster, to say the least!
Deep down, I had already prepared myself to leave Europe and return to Egypt, but then the perfect solution drifted my way—the Portugal Digital Nomad Visa.
I doubted I would be able to obtain this visa in a month, but somehow, I did. And Immigrant Invest played a significant role in making it happen. Thanks to their help, I can stay in Europe for another year.
