In this 9-minute action-first episode Mateus walks you through a concise, realistic blueprint to register as a freelancer or micro-entity (recibos verdes), create SEF-acceptable invoices and contracts, link income to Portuguese banking, and maintain simple bookkeeping—without expensive accountants. You’ll get four practical invoice patterns that visa officers and landlords recognize, a 7-day checklist you can execute immediately, and small daily habits (professional grooming for interviews, reliable client communications, neat receipts) that increase trust.
