FAQs

See all

With either the D7 Visa or the NHR tax regime, what are the tax implications if I must return to my home country within ten years because of extenuating circumstances outside of my control?

The tax implications will depend on your home country. If you leave Portugal and become permanently resident elsewhere, you will be subject to your home country's tax regime and tax rates. There are ways to mitigate this if your investments and pensions are held in portable vehicles. We urge you to consult with our experts before making any decisions.

Is a Retirement Visa the right choice for me?

If you don’t feel the D7 visa in Portugal is the right pathway for you, we can walk you through the Golden Visa programme as an alternative. During your consultation, we’ll view the Golden Visa route for investors to see if it’s the right option for your goals. Our team has years of experience with these programmes and will guide you through the best process for your unique circumstances.

How do I qualify for a D7 visa in Portugal?

To qualify, applicants must demonstrate that their income meets the minimum threshold, provide proof of accommodation in Portugal, pass a clean criminal background check, and intend to reside in Portugal long-term. The D7 visa allows holders to live, work, and study in Portugal, access healthcare, travel freely within the Schengen area, and apply for permanent residency or citizenship after the qualifying residency period. You can book your residency consultation to learn more.
