Imagine spending your Golden Years in a charming European Country: your Dream Retirement may be closer than you ever thought possible with Portugal’s D7 Visa

Portugal, which recently was named one of the top 3 safest places in the world, has launched a visa program that allows residents of the US, the UK, Canada, and elsewhere to establish permanent residency and eventual citizenship with a minimal investment of either time or money.

In as little as three to six months, the Portugal D7 Visa lets you and your entire family reside in Portugal in comfort and luxury as a permanent resident of Europe. And don’t be fooled by its name: You don’t have to wait until you are retirement age to take advantage of this incredible opportunity for European citizenship!

Why The Portugal D7 Visa?

Many European countries have begun offering visas to people from other outside Europe. But most have cumbersome rules, require a hefty investment, and force you to wait years or even decades before you are granted citizenship.

But the Portugal D7 Visa requires a minimal investment of time and money, plus from the day you send in your application, you can enjoy Portuguese residency in as little as four to six months.

The D7 Retirement Visa – also known as the Passive Income Visa – doesn’t require you to buy an expensive home or commercial property in Portugal, or invest hundreds of thousands of Euros, or be involved in the day-to-day operations of a local business. You don’t even have to be separated from your family. Instead, thanks to the European Union reunification law, you can include your spouse, your dependent children, and even your elderly parents in your single application. We will refer you to lawyers we trust so we can help you with your real estate and relocation process in the mean while.

Affordable, Easy Requirements

To attract the best applicants from around the world, Portugal has made the requirements super simple.

Single applicants only need to show proof of a stable passively derived income of just €705 per month for the first applicant.

And if you or your spouse have elderly parents that are financially dependent on you, they can be included too, provided you have the financial means to house and support them in your home.

How The Portugal D7 Visa works

Portugal D7 Visa program grants a temporary residency permit while creating a clear path to permanent residency and, eventually, full Portuguese citizenship.

This exciting program is the fastest path to permanent European citizenship to you and your loved ones. Once your application is approved, you will be issued a two-year D7 Visa (previously one-year) which can then be renewed for three additional years if you continue to qualify for the program.

And unlike visa programs in Italy, Spain, and other European countries, you can continue to work and conduct business from Day One while living in Portugal.

Passive Income D7 Visa

The Portugal D7  Visa is a fast and affordable way for you and your family to realize your dream of living in Europe.

Defining Passive Income

So what does passive income include?

It’s simple: Things like pension payouts, royalties, rental incomes from real estate or intellectual property, company dividends (as long as you aren’t active in the management of the business), and earnings from long-term, fixed-rate financial investments.

It’s also suitable for remote workers and digital nomads.

Despite often being referred to as the “passive income visa,” many people that apply for the D7 visa are full-time remote workers, freelancers, or entrepreneurs.

Regardless of whether they’re actively or passively earning their income, the common denominator between all these people is that they’re bringing their own source of income to Portugal.

The Portugal D7 Retirement or Passive Income Visa is one of the fastest, easiest, and most affordably ways for you and your family to realize your dream of living in Europe.

Some conditions apply

You must spend a minimum of 183 uninterrupted days in Portugal to qualify for visa renewal.

Or you can live in-country for a total of eight months within a single year with various absences in between.
