How long is Portugal's D2 Visa valid for, and can it be renewed?

The D2 'Entrepreneur' Visa initially allows you to enter Portugal and apply for a residence permit, which is typically issued for one to two years. It can be renewed if the business remains active and the applicant continues to meet financial and legal requirements. After five years, D2 Visa holders may apply for permanent residency or Portuguese citizenship, provided they meet the residency and language requirements.
