Who it fits
Retirees and people with stable passive income who want a calmer Atlantic life.
What usually matters
- Regular passive income of at least Portugal's minimum wage for the main applicant, with increases for family members.
- Savings in a Portuguese bank account covering at least one year are commonly expected.
- Accommodation in Portugal and health insurance.
- Clean criminal record.
The D7 visa lets people with regular passive income — pensions, rent, dividends or royalties — live in Portugal. Its income threshold is considerably lower than Spain’s non-lucrative permit, which makes it a popular alternative.
What decides the file
Stable, documented income and a Portuguese address. Most applicants open a Portuguese bank account and obtain a tax number early in the process.
