Portugal D7 Visa

The Portuguese D7 visa programme was launched by the Portuguese government to help stimulate the portuguese economy and has since encouraged several billion Euros  in investment and over 2,000 applications each year. It is one of the most popular visa programs in Europe.

What is the D7 Visa Programme?

If you're an American citizen with passive income, you may be eligible for the D7 Portuguese Visa. This visa allows you to live in Portugal and enjoy all the country has to offer, including its stunning scenery, delicious food, and friendly people.

The D7 Portuguese Visa is perfect for retirees and anyone that has other kind of passive income who wants to experience a high quality of life in Europe. With this visa, you can work remotely, start a business, or simply enjoy your retirement in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

In addition to the benefits of living in Portugal on the D7 Portuguese Visa, there's even more to look forward to. After five years of living in Portugal with the D7 Visa, you may be eligible to apply for Portuguese citizenship.

This means you can enjoy all the benefits of being a Portuguese citizen, including access to Portugal's national healthcare system.
