Digital nomads and their local impact in Portugal<\/h1>\n

Original report by PTS (Taiwan)<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Laptop<\/p>\n

On 3 March 2026, Taiwan\u2019s Public Television Service (PTS) aired a report on its evening news about Portugal\u2019s appeal to remote workers, driven by the digital nomad visa and the country\u2019s mild climate.<\/p>\n

According to unofficial estimates cited in the report, around 120,000 digital nomads live in Portugal. While their presence boosts the economy and tourism, house prices have risen particularly sharply in the European context, and local residents face strong pressure in accessing housing and have directed criticism at these new digital migrants.<\/p>\n

Guya Accornero, a CIES-Iscte researcher specialising in social movements, contributed to the report with her analysis of the local impacts of this phenomenon.<\/p>\n
