The easiest way to get a Portuguese Retirement Visa
The Portugal D7 Visa, also known as the Passive Income Visa, allows non-EU citizens to live in Portugal by proving a stable income from pensions, investments, or remote work. It is one of the most popular pathways for retirees, freelancers, and families seeking long-term residency in Portugal. The visa grants the right to live, work, and study in Portugal, with access to healthcare and the ability to travel freely within the Schengen Area. After five years, D7 holders can apply for permanent residency or Portuguese citizenship, making it a gateway to both lifestyle and mobility.
If you want to retire in Portugal, the D7 Visa is the most straightforward way to gain legal residency without needing to work or make a large investment. It secures your right to live in Portugal, access healthcare, and travel freely across Europe: all while paving the way to citizenship and full EU rights in just five years.
