I'm Interested

The Portugal D7 Residency Visa is designed for individuals with stable passive income who wish to live legally in Portugal while enjoying visa-free travel across the Schengen Area. Favoured by retirees, freelancers, and investors, the D7 offers a cost-effective route to EU residency without requiring property purchase or significant investment. The permit is issued for two years and is renewable, providing a clear pathway to permanent residency and Portuguese citizenship after five years, while eligible applicants may benefit from Portugal’s Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) 2.0 tax regime, offering favourable tax treatment for up to ten years.
