For Those Ready To Take the Next Step
The Portuguese D7 Visa is designed for non-EU, EEA, and non-Swiss citizens seeking residency in Portugal.
Applicants must commit to physically residing in Portugal for at least 183 days and becoming tax residents, meaning their worldwide income will be subject to Portuguese taxation.
The Requirements Explained
To qualify for the D7 Visa, applicants must provide:
Years 0 & 1
Meet with our residency advisors to prepare your D7 application.
Submit proof of stable passive income and secure your temporary D7 Visa for 4 months, allowing you to enter Portugal legally.
Years 1 and 2
Attend your AIMA - Portuguese Agency for Immigration and Asylum - appointment to convert your D7 Visa into a residency permit.
Processing typically takes several months - depending on the volume of work at AIMA - with faster timelines through our curated packages.
Years 3 and 4
Renew your D7 residency permit for another two years, maintaining full residency benefits as long as passive income requirements are met.
Years 5 and 6
After 5 years of legal residency in Portugal, you become eligible for permanent residency and Portuguese citizenship
More Than an Address, An Investment Opportunity
Obtaining the D7 Visa is the opportunity to capitalise on one of Europe’s most resilient property markets.
Although not mandatory, acquiring real estate in Portugal while holding the D7 Visa is a practical and strategic choice for D7 Visa applicants, offering stability, financial benefits, and a smoother residency process.
