Frequently asked questions

How much income do I need for the D7 visa?

You need a stable passive income at or above a minimum set by Portuguese law, which is linked to the national minimum wage and updated over time. We confirm the current figure and how your income will be assessed.

Can I work in Portugal on a D7 visa?

The D7 is based on passive income rather than a job, but the residence permit generally does not stop you from working. If remote work is your main income, the D8 visa may be a better fit.

Can my family join me?

Yes, eligible family members can usually join through family reunification, either with you or after your permit is issued. Additional income may be required for each dependant.

How much does Portugal D7 visa cost?

Costs combine government fees, any required investment or funds, and professional fees. Government fees change from time to time, so we confirm current figures and our own fee in writing after an initial assessment.

Can you guarantee approval?

No adviser can guarantee approval — decisions are made by the relevant authorities. What we can do is assess your eligibility honestly, prepare a complete and consistent application and reduce the risk of avoidable refusals.

How do I get started?

Send us your details and an adviser will contact you to discuss your goals and the programmes that fit.

Is the first conversation an obligation?

No. The first conversation is there to help you understand your options.

Is this programme still open?

Use the eligibility tool or book a consultation and an adviser will review your situation.
