Affordable Relocation to Portugal
The Portugal D7 Visa offers a cost-effective way to move to the country, making it a great alternative to the Golden Visa program. Applicants only need to show proof of stable passive income of at least €870 per month and secure a rental or purchased property. Unlike investment-based visas, there is no requirement to invest a large sum, such as €250,000, into the economy.
2️⃣ Visa-Free Travel Within the Schengen Area
D7 visa holders gain Portuguese residency, which allows them to travel freely across the Schengen Zone. They can stay in other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without the need for additional visas.
3️⃣ Right to Work and Start a Business
After obtaining a Portuguese residence permit through the D7 Visa, individuals can legally work or start a business in Portugal. This flexibility makes it an attractive option for remote workers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs seeking opportunities in Europe.
4️⃣ Access to High-Quality Healthcare and Education
Portuguese residents can enroll their children in the country’s public or private schools and universities. Additionally, they can access Portugal’s healthcare system and even receive medical treatment in other Schengen countries using their residency status.
5️⃣ Simplified Residency for Families
The D7 Visa process does not require applicants to secure a job or present a business plan, making it a straightforward pathway to residency. Successful applicants can also bring their family members, including spouses, children, parents, and even siblings, under Portugal’s family reunification policy.
6️⃣ Pathway to Portuguese Citizenship in 5 Years
After five years of holding a temporary residence permit, D7 visa holders can apply for permanent residency or Portuguese citizenship. A Portuguese passport grants visa-free travel to 172 countries and the right to live and work anywhere in the European Union. Portugal also allows dual citizenship, enabling applicants to retain their original nationality if their home country permits it.
7️⃣ Citizenship for Children Born in Portugal
Children born in Portugal to foreign parents who have held a valid residence permit for at least one year before birth are automatically eligible for Portuguese citizenship. This provides families with an opportunity to secure EU citizenship for their future generations.
