What is the minimum passive income required for the D7 Visa?

The minimum required passive income is equivalent to the Portuguese minimum wage, currently €920 per month (2025). For the main applicant, it's 100% of the minimum wage (€920), plus 50% for a spouse (€460), and 30% for each dependent child (€276).

Can I work in Portugal with a D7 Visa?

While the D7 visa is based on passive income, it does not prohibit you from working in Portugal. You are allowed to be employed or self-employed in Portugal.

How long does the D7 Visa process take?

The initial visa application process at the consulate can take a few months. Once you are in Portugal, the residency permit application can take an additional few months.
