In 2023, the Portuguese government<\/a> issued 2,600 visas to foreign digital nomads who chose to live in our country thanks to its pleasant climate and tax benefits.<\/p>\n

But freelancing in Portugal isn’t just for foreigners. Also known as independent work, freelancing refers to the practice of offering specialized services to clients or companies on a project-by-project basis. Content creation, web development, design, marketing, 3D modeling, or web security are some examples of services commonly offered by independent workers.<\/p>\n

Although the concept of freelancing has been around for a long time, the pandemic has helped to popularize the classic image of today’s freelancer: a skilled worker, usually young and working remotely from their computer.<\/p>\n

Being a freelancer<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The term freelancer refers to an autonomous professional who offers services to various companies or clients, without being tied to a formal employment contract or a specific company. Being a freelancer means having the freedom to choose the projects you want to work on, set your own hours and often work remotely from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

The main advantages of being a freelancer<\/strong><\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. Flexibility and autonomy<\/strong>: as a freelancer, you have the freedom to choose your projects and clients, which allows you to work in areas that really interest you and in which you feel most comfortable and have the most skills<\/em>. You can set your own hours, organizing your schedule according to your personal and professional needs.<\/li>\n
  2. Diversity of projects and continuous learning<\/strong>: being a freelancer gives you the opportunity to work on a variety of projects with different clients and people. This diversity keeps the work interesting and offers lifelong learning. Each project is a new opportunity to acquire skills, get to know different industries and expand your portfolio.<\/li>\n
  3. Flexible remuneration and financial autonomy<\/strong>: you can set your prices based on the complexity and value of the projects, allowing you to negotiate directly with clients. With good financial management, you can plan and save during busy periods, ensuring stability over time<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”7762″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]There are two ways of working as a freelancer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Completely autonomous:<\/u> you promote your work, attract clients and manage everything;<\/li>\n
    2. Through agencies:<\/u> you don’t have a contractual commitment to the agency, but you do have to deliver work, production and quality. As in the previous point, you can choose the projects you want to work on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
