What Is the D7 Visa?
The D7 visa is Portugal's most popular visa for retirees, remote workers with passive income, and financially independent individuals. It requires proof of stable income (pensions, investments, rental income, remote employment) of at least €820/month (2026), health insurance, and a clean criminal record.
Why Use a Lawyer for D7?
The D7 application involves gathering documents from multiple countries, apostilles, translations, and a consulate interview. The most common rejection reason: insufficient proof of income. A specialist lawyer has handled hundreds of D7 applications and knows exactly what the consulate expects.
