The premier residency pathway for retirees and passive income holders wishing to live in Portugal.
The D7 Visa is designed for non-EU citizens who wish to relocate to Portugal and have a reasonable net regular passive income. It is the most popular route for retirees and those living off their own foreign income.
Unlike the Golden Visa, the D7 requires you to become a tax resident in Portugal and spend a significant amount of time here (minimum 16 months in the first 2-year period). In exchange, it offers a very low cost of entry and full access to Portuguese healthcare and education.
Perfect for pensioners looking for a safe, sunny, and affordable European retirement destination.
Ideal for landlords, investors, or crypto holders living off dividends, rent, or interest.
Suitable for clergy members or religious workers relocating to Portugal.
Eligible for the NHR 2.0 tax regime (if applicable under new rules) or standard progressive rates with deductions.
