Looking for a way to live in Europe without needing a job offer or running a business full-time?
The Portugal D7 Visa, also known as the Passive Income Visa, might be your perfect solution.
This visa allows individuals who earn through passive income streams such as rent, dividends, pensions, or savings to live, invest, and eventually settle in Portugal.
Who is the D7 Visa For?
The D7 Visa is designed for anyone who can sustain themselves through consistent non-salary income.
You’re eligible if you earn from:
- Property rentals
- Dividends or pensions
- Royalties or interest from savings
- Business income (as long as you’re not actively managing it)
It’s the ideal option for retirees and investors with passive earnings, or anyone seeking a relaxed yet secure lifestyle in Europe.
Financial Requirements
To qualify, applicants must demonstrate stable passive income and sufficient settlement funds:
Minimum income: €890/month (government requirement)
Recommended income: €2,500/month (for smoother approval)
Additionally, you’ll need funds to support your initial stay:
- Main applicant: €10,000
- Spouse: €5,000
- Child: €3,000
Processing Time
The D7 Visa process typically takes 6–9 months giving you enough time to prepare your documents, relocate, and plan your new life in Portugal.
Residence & Citizenship Pathway
The D7 Visa offers a clear path to permanent residency and even citizenship:
- 2-year Initial residence permit
- Renewal for 3 years
- After 5 years eligible for Permanent Residency or Citizenship
You’ll enjoy full access to Portugal’s world-class healthcare, education, and social systems, along with visa-free travel across the Schengen Zone.
Why Choose the D7 Visa?
- The D7 Visa is best suited for individuals who want:
- A peaceful, affordable lifestyle in a safe European country
- A pathway to EU citizenship
- The freedom to earn and live comfortably without employment
- The opportunity to bring their family along
