Introduction Portugal D7 Visa

Non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals who wish to relocate to the Azores and have a reasonable regular net passive income may apply. The subsequent residence permit does not prevent its holder from having a professional activity in Portugal. It is therefore one of the most attractive options to the Golden Visa for someone intending to live in Portugal indefinitely.

After having applied for a residence permit it is possible to obtain a D7 Portugal Passive Income Visa/Authorization, these applications must be made by the applicant at the Portuguese Consulate. Once the Visa has been issued, your immediate family members are also entitled to enter the residence permit program in Portugal under the “family reunification” regulations.
