Overview
The Portugal Passive Income Visa, or D7 Visa was started in 2007 by the Portuguese government and is a part of the Portugal residence permit program. If you’re considering a move to Portugal, the D7 visa may be the key to your residency. This visa is designed for individuals who are financially independent and can support themselves without working in Portugal.
A Portugal passive income D7 Visa or permit can only be applied for after the series of residence applications are filed by the main applicant at the Portuguese consulate. Once this is issued, his/her immediate family members are also entitled to enter into the Portugal residence permit programs under the family reunification regulations.
