Portugal D7 Passive Income Visa
Residence in Portugal for retirees and people with stable passive income — pensions, rent, dividends or interest.
Check your eligibility before you pay any fee
The D7 visa is designed for people with a stable income that does not depend on working in Portugal — pensions, rental income, dividends, interest or royalties. It is one of the most accessible routes to EU residence, with no investment requirement.
The income threshold follows Portugal’s national minimum wage, which is updated every January: 100% for the main applicant, 50% for a spouse and 30% for each dependent child. Consulates generally expect a year’s worth of the required income held in a Portuguese bank account and a twelve-month lease or property.
D7 holders must make Portugal their main home and respect the absence limits to renew.

Portugal D7 Visa FAQs
Once you have the residence permit you can work, but the visa is granted on passive income, which must remain your main means of support.
