Golden Visa / ARI
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals using an eligible investment route.
The Portugal Golden Visa is an investment-based residence program that allows visa-free travel within the Schengen Area and does not require permanent relocation (it is sufficient to stay in Portugal for up to 14 days per year to maintain the status). After 5 years from obtaining the residence permit, applicants may apply for citizenship, subject to meeting the legal requirements and potential changes in legislation. The program also allows including immediate family members within the same application and does not require becoming a Portuguese tax resident with proper planning. Currently, eligible investment options include funds, cultural support, scientific projects, or business and job creation, while residential real estate investments are no longer qualifying. The program is suitable both for relocation and as a “plan B” with access to a stable EU jurisdiction.
D7 Visa
Retirees, financially independent applicants, and people with passive or recurring stable income.
The Portugal D7 Visa is designed for applicants with verifiable passive income from abroad (such as dividends, rental income, pensions, interest, or other sources) and provides residence rights in Portugal along with visa-free travel within the Schengen Area. Unlike investment programs, it does not require capital investment but предполагает фактическое проживание в стране большую часть года (typically at least 183 days), which generally leads to tax residency in Portugal. After 5 years from obtaining the residence permit, applicants may apply for citizenship, subject to meeting the legal requirements and potential changes in legislation. The visa also allows including immediate family members and provides access to public healthcare and education systems.
D2 Visa
Entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, and independent professionals.
The Portugal D2 Visa is designed for entrepreneurs and business owners who plan to launch a new venture or relocate an existing business to Portugal, granting the right to reside in the country, conduct commercial activities, and travel visa-free within the Schengen Area. The visa requires genuine business activity — it is not sufficient to simply register a company; applicants must demonstrate business viability, sufficient funds, and ongoing operations. It also implies actual residence in Portugal for the majority of the year (typically at least 183 days), which generally results in tax residency. After 5 years from obtaining the residence permit, applicants may apply for citizenship, subject to meeting the legal requirements and potential changes in legislation. The visa also allows including immediate family members and provides access to doing business within the EU jurisdiction.
D3 Visa
Highly qualified professionals and specialists with a qualifying role in Portugal.
The Portugal D3 Visa is designed for highly qualified professionals with higher education or proven experience who have received a job offer in the country, granting the right to reside and work in Portugal with visa-free travel within the Schengen Area. The salary must meet the requirements for qualified positions and is typically at least 1.5× the minimum wage in Portugal applicable at the time of application. The visa implies actual residence in Portugal for the majority of the year, which generally results in tax residency. After 5 years from obtaining the residence permit, applicants may apply for citizenship, subject to meeting the legal requirements and potential changes in legislation. Changing employer is possible under certain conditions, and the visa allows family reunification as well as access to the EU labor market and social system.

The Portugal D8 Visa (Digital Nomad) is designed for remote professionals and freelancers working for foreign companies or carrying out activities outside Portugal, granting the right to reside in the country with visa-free travel within the Schengen Area.
