Quick and smooth approval process for your D7 resident visa to Portugal
Imigrata offers the most comprehensive and transparent visa support package for your future Portuguese residence. While you can prepare and file your own Portuguese visa application, it isn’t recommended for many reasons. Consular and SEF rules change all the time, and if you are not keeping up with news updates daily, you'll likely miss some important details. If you don’t speak Portuguese, you also may face hardship when dealing with local authorities, SEF, setting up appointments, opening a local bank account, getting the NIF number and addressing dozens of other smaller issues.
You will be 100% covered by care of our local team of immigration specialists in Portugal.
They will oversee your visa application procedure from the very first consultation to getting your residence permit in Portugal. You will not deal with the local bureaucracy, won’t need to schedule local appointments, file local applications, and have every step of your visa process professionally supervised. We take the stress and confusion out of the application process.

Final check — do you qualify for a D7 visa?
Let's run through visa requirements one more time!
Remember: the key factor here is your passive income or your remote income and future contracts. However, even if you cannot provide proof of the exact amount needed (min. €760/month) over time, Portuguese authorities may let you "mix and match" your passive income with your savings. If you're unsure whether you qualify, shoot us an email and we'll advise!
Here are your minimum amounts. Remember, that if you are a little short, you can "mix and match" with your savings as well.
- €760/month for main applicant
- or €1,140 for married couple
- €228 per Additional Minor Dependent
This is not a required part, if you have demonstrated enough passive income to satisfy requirements. However, if you are short on passive income or cannot document it for a considerable amount of time, it's OK to use your savings to bolster your case. Portuguese authorities may, at their discretion, also approve your application on based on demonstrable savings. In such cases, you’ll be expected to have enough savings to cover your living expenses and accommodation for the 2-year period for which the initial residency permit is issued.
- €9,120 x 2 (€18,240) for the primary applicant
- additional €9,120 for your spouse
If you're a digital nomad or remote worker, Portuguese authorities will want to see proof of your stable income exceeding the minimum of €760/month for a period of 6-24 months. You'll also be asked to show signed contracts or agreements of intent for future business.
Being a recurring income visa, no property purchase is required – however, you will be required to have a residential address in Portugal. A 1-year rental agreement or letter from a sponsor authorising you to live in their Portuguese property indefinitely is generally acceptable to meet this requirement.
- This is actually the tricky part — how to sign a long term lease months before actually moving to Portugal and before getting your visa approved! And yes, we know the hacks to do this in the most economical way.
Now, the Portuguese consulate will not actually ask you for NIF, however, you will find it close to impossible to open a required bank account and to sign a required 1-year rental agreement in Portugal without our NIF number.
- Our full service already includes getting NIF number on your behalf by power of attorney!
You are required to open a Portuguese bank account and deposit a significant amount of savings in it.
- Our full service already includes opening a required bank account an on your behalf by power of attorney whenever possible.
You and your family will be required to have comprehensive health insurance coverage, without any holding periods or co-payments.
- This can be cancelled once your visa is approved, however you will again require this in order to renew your residency permit after 2 years.
- We recommend your insurance provide minimum coverage of €30,000 and be valid for your entire stay.
You'll need to procure criminal record certificate from the country of origin or the country where you are currently residing (children under the age of 16 are exempt from producing a criminal record).
- Now, when Portuguese authorities write "clean criminal record", they actually mean "absence of conviction for a crime that in Portugal is punishable by deprivation of liberty for more than one year".
What our D7 visa clients think about their experience
- Sarah BaskinProject manager from Austin, TexasWe had our whole process coordinated by Imigrata attorneys from Lisbon. Every document was checked by them before it was submitted to the Consulate, and all local appointments in Portugal set up by the Lisbon team as well. I read that it's nearly impossible to get through to SEF on the phone. Overall, it was a great experience and a very smooth ride.
- Samuel Wilkerson, Jr.IT freelancer from Halifax, CanadaI initially tried to do everything on my own, but quickly found myself wasting several hours daily in search of information online. There was also an issue with getting my NIF number and opening a bank account — and that's hassle worth about 500 EUR. Imigrata lawyers in Lisbon had all these formalities included in the package, which was really nice. I had my approval from the Consulate within a month, and have a SEF appointment scheduled already. So far, all is good, thanks!
- Maxim VolkonskyStartup founder from St. Petersburg, RussiaYou guys helped me to schedule my appointment at a local Portuguese consulate, which was great since I didn't have much luck with them. I had lots of questions regarding combining my savings and passive income that I bothered Imigrata team with and received a very patient service every time. Thanks again, I"m happily in Portugal now :)
