Thank you very much for this video! Quick question about the medical insurance: did you just submit the paper where it states, that you’ve signed up for their services? (As you’ve mentioned that it’s month to month based service and you can cancel it at any moment). Thank you and enjoy Portugal!
Hi, thank you :) and yes, stating that it is covering us for that month, we continued to ay monthly up until our AIMA appointment here in Portugal :) hope this helps
For those who want to get D8 visa note that you need to deposit minimum 10k EUR to Portugal bank account to get it. I don't know why this video didn't cover it, but it's extremely important part of application process.
@@lachxshan Oh, I see, okay. Yes, it seems like there is a new requirement that you need to have at least 10k EUR deposited to Portugese bank account at the moment of AIMA appointment.
This video is actually very very helpful! Thank you for making it. I do have a question about savings. Did the Portugese embassy ask you for proof of savings and asked for a specific amount? I’ve seen this requirement floating around but nobody speaks of it. 🤞🏼
Thanks Camila! We both grew up in Australia in the same town so we wanted to move to a new place to experience new cultures are be close to lots of other travel opportunities. Aus is always our home but it’s amazing how much there is to experience being in Europe not a 30hr flights away haha
@@Aaron.trades glad we could help! When we were making the move it was super hard to find answers so we thought our experience would be able to help some people :)
Hey Lach and Shan! Thank you so much for this informative video. I’ve been trying to find out more information for this visa specifically from / for Australians. Are you able to travel around other Schengen areas whilst on the temporary or resident visa? Or are you only permitted to stay in Portugal because you only get the 2 arrival stamps? Thank you so much ☺️
Thank you for the video! Could you please let me know how many days took the process of sending the passport to get the visa stamped in and receiving it back?
Hello! Thank you for the video! I had a question in regards to booking your accommodations on uni places. We’re you able to book for a year? I looked at the platform and I’m only able to book for 3 months. How did the process go because I had a consultation with a immigration specialist that didn’t recommend using Uniplaces but I feel it’s so convenient to use being far away. Can you explain your process on booking with uniplaces for your paperwork? Thanks I’m advance!
Hey April! You're very welcome! We originally used Uni places and signed a 1 year rental but the rules are changing lately, if I remember correctly it's 6 months you can legally stay in an air bnb situation. 6 months allowed us enough time to search for a longer term apartment on (Idealista). Please let us know if this answered your question!
Congratulations!! We are in Lisbon, one bedroom apartments in the city can be anywhere from 1000 - 1800 euros per month depending on size/style/location etc
@TariqAli-nm1vc I also have an appointment in July. Do you know if it's necessary to submit a 1 year lease? I submitted a hotel booking for my visa application. My appointment is in Lisbon but I'd like to stay in Porto
Well done very informative 😊 but I did love the bloopers at the end ❤

@@olter1000 when we applied and had our AIMA appointment this wasn’t required. But maybe the requirements are different now?

Glad you liked the video! We never got asked about our savings. Happy to answer any other questions you might have 🙌
Hi, do you mean you got 2 years residency permit when you arrived in Portugal? or is it another visa in your passport?
Really useful, thanks!
Can I ask.. Why Portugal? Usually Australia looks like a paradise, people move there all the time so got me curious.

@@lachxshan Hahahahahaha OMG the flights are brutal from there. Got it, so happy for both of you guys!
Cool Video 😄👌
Awesome video guys, SUPER helpful, about to start my journey to Portugal!

Heya - did you have to mail in the follow-up documents, or was by email sufficient? Thanks!
Can you bring your family (elderly parents, no kid) with you?
Minimum requirement of 3040 Euro is Gross Income or Net Income? What is the success ratio of this visa?
Thanks for the information. Can i know if you pay TAX in Portugal ? and how much ?
Great question!
how was SEF appointment for d8 residency visa?
Do you need to have EUR38k in the bank before applying?
Which Visa are you applying for?
I asked the same thing for D8 visa :) do we need the savings?
So plz tell regarding tax on digital nomads?!
We are currently on the NHR Scheme but it is now revised under a new scheme which we are unsure about.
Thank you for the video! Could you please let me know how many days took the process of sending the passport to get the visa stamped in and receiving it back?
Hey @null_root it was 60 days to process the visa but once we sent the passport it was roughly between 1-2weeks before receiving it back🙂

What Portugal have that you can't find in Australia?
The ease of traveling to so many different countries. Aus is great but very far away from here
You mentioned becoming resident after 4 months. I thought it was after a few years.
Resident means that you live/reside there and aren't short term. You can apply for citizenship after 5 years and become a full citizen of the country.
Portugal is becoming insanely expensive, the bureaucracy is crazy and there's dirt everywere. 😢
Hey, I got the D8 visa and travelling to Portugal next month. Can you please share which city you have chosen to live and how much is the rent?
Congratulations!! We are in Lisbon, one bedroom apartments in the city can be anywhere from 1000 - 1800 euros per month depending on size/style/location etc
@@lachxshan its bit costly. Have you explored other cities as well that is budget friendly?
