Definitely discouraging! It’s the first time I hear this and will have to verify in official channels.

Thank you for the content, did you say 48 weeks? Do you mean 11 months in advance?

At approx 9:30 minutes--should be Atestado de Residência in Portuguese. What was said in the video sounded like some Spanish term. When I get frustrated with my Portuguese, I sometimes start speaking Spanish, too, and hope for the best.

can i apply for this visa if i have a youtube channel earning more than 1000$/month ?

Great content! Regarding income, can a lump sum of money in a bank account count as a source of passive income? Also, can you combine a pension plus a lump sum in the bank to fulfill the requirements of the D7 visa?

Hi @54ameneses, thank you for your question! You cannot use a lump sum of money in lieu of passive income. You will need to show that you qualify through sources like a pension, social security, or rental income. You can combine various current or future sources of passive income. Please schedule a free 15-minute consultation and we can give you recommendations on how you can qualify. You can book that here: startabroad.com/schedule-consultation/

Rental income is super different and much more volatile than a government pension. Is this still up to date

Hello , what if someone has a property in Portugal while applying for D 7 Visa ? How can this help to get the D7 Visa ? For example in this case the person does not need a proof of a 12 month Lease in Portugal ? Because usually they can live on their land in a Caravan for example, ..and any other issues related to this ,please let us know . Thanks .

Hi there great video! I have a question. How long can you leave Portugal while on a D7 - outside of Schengan? Also if you stay within Schengan, how long can you leave Portugal while on a D7? Also curious as to why you would require healthcare insurance if on many sites it says that you would have access to healthcare while on D7? Thanks so much

@Paterson340 - I read online that to maintain residency status one must remain in Portugal a minimum of 183 days in a calendar year. Ensure your passport is stamped upon entry.

Do you have to have €8,000 in the Portuguese bank account to apply for the D7 Visa? This is what I read on a website, but I didn’t see it on the governments website! Thanks.

Is the newly issued birth certificate required if you are an individual - not married without children? Also, I heard that your D7 application might get rejected if you have not previously visited Portugal. Is that correct? Thank you so much for this detailed video. It's the most informative one I've seen.

Hi @jyotismovieshelf, thank you for your question and for that feedback!! If you are applying as an individual, you do not need to include a birth certificate. There is also no requirement to have visited Portugal previously.

How can apply work visa in portugal please help,

If you live far from a Portuguese consulate why should you have to travel for the interview just to approve the four month D7 visa instead of a video interview? It makes no sense.

Looking to retire at 60 prior to drawing Social Security. Can you use a 401k account as passive income as you can draw from it at 59 1/2? Yes, this sounds complicated opening a bank account in Portugal, getting a lease, all before you get approved 😃 I also don't know anyone in Portugal to get a reference. I am looking at Portugal as I have friends in Spain and it seems like a good base to live and travel from.

Hello, I have a question. Are earnings from stock trading and Bitcoin transactions recognized as proof of income? In other words, if I can earn the equivalent of Portugal’s annual minimum wage through stock trading and have substantial savings, would that be considered? Or do I need to convert it into dividend income or similar to meet the bureaucratic requirement of a stable income? If D7 does not meet these conditions, is there a visa available for stock traders without a job in Europe? Thank you.

This video does not explain who needs D7 visa. For instance, does a partner/wife/husband of EU citizen need to apply for D7 visa?

Along with passive income, do you need to have a savings account with a certain number?

Hi @garickroy, not necessarily, as long as you meet the passive income requirement. You do need to fund a Portuguese bank account for around 10,000 euros, and more if you bring dependents.

Thanks, I will keep your website in mind. If you are not required to have the €8,000 in a Portuguese bank account, I will be making application for the D7 Visa when I return to the US, and I would like to get the assistance. I applied for the NIF this week so I took the first step.
