QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What is a Portugal D6 Visa?
Expand

A Portugal D6 Visa is a Family Reunification Visa that allows family members to join their relatives with residential permits in Portugal. This visa permits holders to live, work, and study in Portugal, provided they can prove family ties and provide other relevant documents.

What are the advantages of a Portugal D6 Visa?
Expand

The Portugal D6 Visa is advantageous for several reasons. It facilitates family reunification, simplifies the application process for those with relatives in Portugal, and allows economically dependent relatives to join their supporters. Additionally, a Portuguese family reunification visa can lead to acquiring a permanent residence permit or even Portuguese citizenship after living in Portugal for five years.

Are there any downsides to the Portugal D6 Visa?
Expand

While the Portugal D6 Visa offers many benefits, there are a couple of potential downsides. Dependents who are minors or adult dependents with no income make little economic contributions since they do not work or pay taxes. Also, due to the relative ease of applying for this visa, there may be potential misuse through marriages of convenience and false declarations of parenthood, both of which are punishable by law.

How long does it take to get approved for a Portugal D6 Visa?
Expand

Typically, the processing time for a D6 visa application is around 60 days. This is due to the time required for the embassy and the Portuguese government to process the application after the interview and application submission.

What are the requirements to maintain Portugal's D6 Visa status?
Expand

To maintain a Portugal D6 Visa, you need to renew the visa every three years after the first two years of validity. This process requires documentation such as a recent passport, an application form for extension, and documents that prove your situation and the need for a visa extension, as well as proof of income.

Can I work for a company based outside Portugal with a Portugal D6 Visa?
Expand

Yes, you can work remotely for a company based outside Portugal with a Portugal D6 Visa. If Portugal grants you a long-term residence permit, you may also be able to get a residence permit in another EU member state to work, study, or train there.

What are the taxes I need to pay as a Portugal D6 Visa holder?
Expand

As a Portugal D6 Visa holder, you would pay tax rates ranging from 14.5% to 48% on your worldwide income. However, if you apply for the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) status and haven't been a tax resident in Portugal for the past five years, you could get tax breaks.

Can I apply for a Portugal D6 Visa while my family member is in Portugal?
Expand

Yes, you can apply for a Portugal D6 Visa whether your family member is in Portugal or still abroad. If the family member is already in Portugal, you will need to provide proof of entry and show that they've entered the country legally and haven't overstayed.

What documents do I need to apply for a Portugal D6 Visa?
Expand

You will need various documents for the application, including residency documents, NIF number, proof of subsistence and address for the person with residency in Portugal. For the family member to obtain residency, you will need a certified copy of the passport, a criminal records check, a marriage certificate or proof of cohabitation in the case of couples, and a fee. Any documents that are not in Portuguese will need to be accompanied by a certified translation.
