@jonesdn2020 This type of post is great. Love the timemark / subject. Super cool and efficient. Obrigado!
Now the Portugal Daily News is passing on this digital nomad income statement here.
"To be eligible, digital nomads must prove that they receive at least €2,820 a month, four times the current value of the national minimum wage, which is €705 (and which should rise to €760 in 2023)."
Is it too much work for journalists to investigate the law and site it?
@jonesdn2020 Well, this is the relevant paragraph in the law :
c) Comprovativo de rendimentos médios mensais auferidos no exercício de atividade profissional subordinada ou independente nos últimos três meses de valor mínimo equivalente a quatro remunerações mínimas mensais garantidas
and I'm going to stick my neck out and say I think the journalists have got it right.
Average monthly income aquired from exercising professional activity over the past 3 months equivalent to 4 times the national minimum wage does mean the measure is per month, to me, although obviously you could meet it with irregular amounts during those 3 months.
It would be nice if the law actually was direct in the requirements. I agree you may be correct. Each time I read the law I second guess myself.
@old-bloke mentioned:
Artigo 31.º-A
We just have members trying to get in line for this visa and several requirements have not been vetted as you would expect when trying to apply.
@antonio_f I am finding it on par with US law. I believe the lawyers that write them want them to be ambiguous enough to support their careers😂
@jonesdn2020 I know you're only joking but I guess it's quite difficult to write concise legalese in a manner that leaves absolutely nothing open to interpretation to whatever audience happens upon it. I'm sure to the legal profession, that particular instance doesn't leave any room for interpretation and I expect (at least some) journalists were briefed accordingly.
In order for it to mean the total of 3 months' income should be equivalent to at least 4 months' worth of national minumum salary, it would have had to make reference to "the sum of", which it doesn't. It just says the average per month over the 3 months should be equivalent to 4 x the monthly national minimum.
@x-camone hmmm, to me it reads as 4 times over 3 months not each month. Otherwise why would they just not have said 4 times each month for 3 months. The way it is written suggests they did it that way rather than saying the required each month for 3 months is 1.33 the average salary, it is neater to state it as 4 times over 3 months.
@blaze451 Because they are recognising that the income may be irregular in amount, hence the reason for taking the 3 month average.
But the average (a single figure) is what they're asking to be compared to the 4 x national minimum per month. If it had been meant to be the sum, the word "average" would be totally redundant.
