Embrace Your Retirement while enjoying the

Serenity of Portugal

Portugal’s D7 visa is a particular type of visa known as a passive income visa. This income can be from pensions, real estate, intellectual property, or financial Investment. A D7 visa doesn’t restrict you based on any country or origin. It allows you and your family legal residence in Portugal. The purpose of the D7 visa is to attract retirees who are living on their pension income so that they can boost the economy of Portugal.

Additionally, holders of this visa are allowed to have a professional activity in Portugal. It is also a part of the Portugal residence by investment program in which the income requirements are substantial for the cost. You must present a Portugal D7 visa proof of accommodation and income to acquire this visa.

Portugal D7
Visa Stay Requirements

The D7 visa holder is expected to be at least 16 MONTHS per the first 2-year period and 28 MONTHS per the subsequent 3-year period, provided no absence exceeds 6 consecutive months. For a permanent residence permit holder, this is increased to a minimum of 30 months every 5 years, provided no absence exceeds 24 straight months

Portugal D7
Visa Processing Time

Depending upon the visa application, it generally takes 3 to 6 Months to process it.
The first thing that you need to do is to apply to SEF. The time frame for this is directly interconnected with the place you choose to live in Portugal. It is because of the demand of that place. If that area
is high in order, it will take longer than the less populated area in the countryside.
