Working in Congo for a corporation in Portugal

Can I live in Congo and work remotely for a company in Portugal?

Yes, it is possible, however we usually recommend double-checking the following points:

  1. Are you allowed to work remotely in the country you wish to work in?
  2. Do you have the right to work in the country you wish to work in?
  3. Are you allowed to work for a company in the country you wish to work in?
  4. Can you legally work for the company you wish to work for?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no”, you should not move there.
The Bottom Line: If you want to work in a different country, it’s not enough to be technically qualified. You also need to be legally qualified.
If you’re looking to work in a different country, we recommend that you speak to your country’s embassy, consulate or consulate general.
