Visa & residence permit — Portugal
Identifying the visa that fits your situation, a personalised document list, line-by-line file review, consular interview prep and follow-up to the decision. We are not lawyers: contentious cases are referred to a partner.
Visa & residence permit — country specifics — Portugal
The D7 (regular passive income) and D8 (digital nomad, about €3,480/month) are the entry doors. The file hinges on proof of housing in Portugal, opening a funded Portuguese account, and a recent apostilled criminal record. Then expect long AIMA delays for the residence card: the visa covers the wait.
