Portugal D7 Visa Services
Portugal D7 Visa Services: Passive Income Residency Specialists
The D7 Visa, often called the “Passive Income Visa,” remains the gold standard for retirees, investors, and individuals with stable recurring income who wish to call Portugal home. While the eligibility criteria seem straightforward, the application process requires meticulous financial documentation and a strategic local setup.

Frequently Asked Questions for D7 Clients
Can I work in Portugal with a D7 Visa?
Yes. While your application must be based on passive income, once you receive your residency card, you have the legal right to work or start a business in Portugal.
Is my remote salary considered passive income?
No. Remote work income is now specifically categorized under the Digital Nomad Visa (D8). The D7 is strictly for non-active income like rentals, pensions, or investments.
How much savings should I have in my Portuguese bank account?
While the law requires one year’s worth of the minimum wage, we generally recommend a higher balance to show “financial self-sufficiency” to the consulate. Our team provides specific guidance on the ideal deposit for your profile.
