Guide to Working Remotely in Madeira

Setting up to work remotely from Madeira takes about a week. Sort accommodation first (the Funchal City Apartment can be booked instantly online), then a local SIM (MEO, NOS, Vodafone — €15–€25/month unlimited), then a NIF (Portuguese tax number, free at the local Finanças office or via a fiscal representative), then a local bank account if you plan to stay long-term.
