Portugal offers D7 residency visa for individuals with passive income

Portugal offers residency opportunities to non-EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens through the D7 visa program. This visa is specifically designed for retirees and individuals with regular, passive income.

For 2026, the minimum monthly income requirement for a single adult applicant is set at 920 euros. Acceptable sources of income include pensions, rental income, dividends, and interest from capital. Applicants must provide documentation proving that this income is regular, sustainable, and legitimate.

While the D7 visa facilitates residency, it does not automatically grant direct work authorization. Individuals seeking to work in Portugal must follow separate residency and work permit processes defined by Portuguese immigration regulations.
