Golden Visa
Golden Visa - Investment-Based Residency
Portugal’s Golden Visa remains one of Europe’s most established residency-by-investment programmes, offering a route to EU living through approved investment options. It gives you and your family the right to live in Portugal, visa-free travel across the Schengen Area, and access to European healthcare and education.
Important: buying property no longer qualifies for the Golden Visa. Today the main route is a qualifying investment fund, alongside other approved options such as cultural support, job-creating business investment, and scientific research. The programme keeps a low minimum-stay requirement and can lead to citizenship eligibility over time.
We advise on the Golden Visa and the fund routes directly, and manage the wider process – from choosing the right structure to coordinating legal documentation, translation, and AIMA appointments.
That means you benefit from:
Family Residency
Secure long-term residency for you and your dependants, including spouse and children.
European Mobility
Visa-free travel across the Schengen Area for effortless movement within Europe.
Low Stay Requirement
Keep your residency active with just 7 days per year spent in Portugal.
Path to Citizenship
After 10 years of residency, apply for Portuguese citizenship and EU rights.
D7 Visa
D7 Visa - Passive Income & Retirement Residency
The D7 is designed for retirees, pensioners, and anyone with steady passive income who wants to settle in Portugal – including the coast around Lisbon. It offers long-term residency with no investment requirement.
You can qualify through pensions, rentals, dividends, or savings. The D7 gives access to Portugal’s National Health Service (SNS) and lets you include family members, leading to permanent residency after five years.
Our team guides every step – income verification, documentation, AIMA submission, and residence-card collection.
That means you benefit from:
Residency Without Investment
Qualify based on stable passive income — no minimum capital required.
Family Reunification
Include your spouse, children, or dependants under the same application.
Healthcare Access
Benefit from Portugal’s National Health Service (SNS) and EU-standard care.

D2 Visa - Entrepreneur & Business Residency
The D2 is for entrepreneurs, business owners, and the self-employed who want to start or grow a business in Portugal. It lets you run your enterprise, employ staff, and access the European market while living in the Lisbon area.
To qualify, you present a viable business plan showing economic value to Portugal and enough capital to sustain it, plus registration with the tax authorities (NIF), proof of accommodation, and a clean criminal record. It supports family reunification and leads to permanent residency after five years.
Our specialists help refine your plan, prepare documents, and manage tax and legal registrations.
That means you benefit from:
Residency Through Entrepreneurship
Obtain Portuguese residency by establishing or expanding your own business.
EU Market Access
Operate freely across Portugal and gain entry to wider European opportunities.

Digital Nomad Visa
D8 Remote Work Residency
The Digital Nomad Visa lets remote workers, freelancers, and digital professionals live in Portugal while working for clients or employers abroad – ideal for those who want European quality of life without giving up their career.
It grants a one-year renewable residency permit for those meeting the income requirement, with proof of remote work, accommodation, valid health insurance, and a clean record.
Note: Portugal’s NHR tax regime has been replaced by the IFICI regime – we’ll point you to a specialist to confirm the current tax treatment of foreign income.
Our team simplifies the process, from documents and NIF registration to health insurance and residence-card collection.

Live in Portugal, Work Worldwide
Maintain your remote career while enjoying the Algarve lifestyle.
