Become an expat abroad; start life in Portugal
The D7 visa is a residence permit that allows non-EU citizens to live in Portugal. It is based on the concept of “passive income”. This type of visa is perfect for retirees, freelancers, nomads, and anyone who wants to enjoy their life abroad while still maintaining a steady stream of income.
RHJ Law offers comprehensive support for obtaining the passive income visa in Portugal, commonly referred to as the D7 visa.
What is the D7 Visa?
The D7 visa is a residence permit that allows non-EU citizens to live in Portugal for an extended period of time. It falls under the category of “long-term visas” and is valid for a maximum of two years. However, this visa can be renewed as long as the applicant continues to meet the requirements.
Who is eligible for the D7 Visa?
To be eligible for the D7 visa, applicants must meet certain criteria. These include having a steady source of passive income, such as rental income, dividends, or retirement funds. The minimum amount required varies depending on factors such as family size and location within Portugal. Applicants must also have comprehensive health insurance and sufficient financial means to support themselves.
Applying for a visa can be a complex and time-consuming process. That’s why having experts like RHJ Law on your side can make all the difference. Our team of experienced lawyers will guide you through the entire process, from filling out the application to obtaining your residence permit.
