About this Visa
The D7 visa is Portugal's residency permit for people with passive income. This means money from pensions, rental properties, investments, or dividends—not from working. You can live in Portugal for 2 years, then renew. After 5 years, you can become a Portuguese citizen. You can work, start a business, and bring your family with you. This visa is one of Europe's easiest ways to get permanent residency. You don't need a job offer or lots of money to invest.
