Are you planning to move to Portugal and wondering how to apply for a D7 visa? You've come to the right place! This comprehensive guide will answer all your queries regarding the process of obtaining a D7 visa in Portugal.

What is a D7 Visa in Portugal?

A D7 Visa, also known as a Residence Visa for Retired Persons or Income Earners, is a special type of Portuguese visa designed for foreigners who intend to relocate to Portugal and have a regular income. This can include pensions, rental earnings, interest on savings, or dividends.

How Can I Apply for a D7 Visa in Portugal?

The process to apply for a D7 visa in Portugal is fairly straightforward. First, you'll need to gather the necessary documents. This includes a valid passport, proof of regular income, health insurance, and a criminal record certificate from your home country.

After gathering your documents, you'll need to submit your application to the Portuguese consulate or embassy in your country. The application will be reviewed and if approved, you will receive your D7 visa, allowing you to move to Portugal and live there as a resident.

Can I Apply for a D7 Visa While in Portugal?

Yes, you can apply for a D7 visa while already in Portugal. However, this process requires additional documentation, is way longer and more expensive. We don't recommended it.

At Movingto, we understand that navigating the work visa process can be complex. We're here to assist you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out to our team for personalized guidance on your path to working in Portugal.
