What is the application process for Portugal's D2 Visa in 2025?

The D2 Visa application process involves several steps such as gathering all required documents, including a business plan, financial proof, and legal paperwork. If the business is already established, register it with the Portuguese Commercial Registry. A Portuguese tax identification number (NIF) is required, and a bank account must be opened to deposit initial funds. Submit the application at the Portuguese consulate in your home country. Once approved, you will receive a visa that allows you to enter Portugal and apply for a residence permit. Upon arrival in Portugal, schedule an appointment with SEF (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras) to obtain a residence permit, usually valid for one to two years and renewable.
