Relocate to Portugal

Golden Visa:  This permit gives you the right to live, work, and study in Portugal and allows free circulation in Europe’s Schengen Area for five years. The advantage of this program is that you only have to stay an average of seven days per year in Portugal over a five-year period. 

D7 Visa: The D7 visa was originally defined to attract retirees but has become also quite attractive for anybody that fulfills the low passive income threshold of 8460 Euro per year. This income can come from pensions, real estate rentals and investments, among others.  

D3 Visa: Aims to attract highly qualified professionals. The visa category offers fast-track processing and a clear path to obtaining Portuguese permanent residency and is also eligible after 5 years for Portuguese citizenship. 

D2 Visa: Applicants must prove that they either have founded a company operating in Portuguese territory or they have the financial resources to set up a company in Portugal. Besides the business capital, applicants should have a reliable business plan and in-depth research about future business in Portugal. 

Digital Nomad Visa: residence visa for non-EU workers looking to come work remotely in Portugal. It’s valid for up to a year and, as of November of 2022, can be renovated after that time period. Your monthly salary must be higher than €2820.  

2. Home search

3. NIF 

The NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal or Número de Contribuinte) is the Portuguese tax number. You need it to get a bank account, to buy a property and to apply for some of the Visas. Therefore, we suggest you get one right away. If you don’t have a Portuguese address yet, then you’ll need a tax representative (Representante Fiscal) to vouch for you and get it in your name. This entity can be either a person or company with a valid NIF. You won’t automatically become taxable in Portugal.
