If you’ve been hearing more Nigerians talk about Portugal lately, you’re not imagining things — Portugal has quietly become one of the most attractive European destinations for Nigerians looking to japa. While the UK, Canada, and the US used to dominate migration dreams, Portugal is now stepping onto the stage with a unique mix of affordability, friendly immigration policies, and sunny coastal charm.
But why exactly is Portugal trending for Nigerians?
1. Golden Visa & D7 Visa: Multiple Pathways
Unlike many European countries, Portugal offers both the Golden Visa (for investors) and the D7 Visa (for those with passive income or remote work). Nigerians with international earnings, property investments, or business interests can legally reside in Portugal, opening a gateway to the Schengen zone.
2. Lower Cost of Living Compared to Other EU Hotspots
Lisbon, Porto, and other Portuguese cities offer a significantly lower cost of living compared to London, Paris, or Amsterdam. From rent to groceries to transport, many Nigerians find their naira stretches further in Portugal.
3. Family-Friendly and Welcoming Culture
Portugal consistently ranks among Europe’s safest countries and is known for its family-friendly environment. Nigerians moving with spouses or children appreciate the laid-back lifestyle, good schools, and emphasis on community.
4. Access to EU Opportunities
With a Portuguese residence permit, Nigerians gain access to travel across the Schengen zone, opening doors for business, education, and networking across Europe. And after five years, you can apply for permanent residency or even citizenship, boosting your global mobility.
5. A Growing Nigerian Community
From African restaurants to diaspora associations, Nigeria’s presence in Portugal is growing steadily. This means newcomers can tap into existing networks, making it easier to integrate, find resources, and feel at home.
