A lot of helpful information, thank you and congratulations on your new adventure in Portugal. For how many months did you purchase your travel insurance? Would 4 months, which is D7 visa duration, be enough for application or does it need to be longer?
hi, have seen all your videos , have already told about the nice tour u can make around lisbon area in the other video comment, and today I just want to say some little things, you are a couple very young, I read that u have some brasilian Portuguese but I reckon it will be tuff because the sound is very different, they use more open vogals and we use closed vogals well this is Fonetics nevermind but just to say its very different , I would say its a start, even brasilians when they arrive say its dificult for them , that we talk to fast but its not its just when you find it strange we tend to say excuses. But with time and efort with a good ear everything comes, Portuguese people has they normally are ok with English they switch to english if they see you are english speaking not giving you much opportunity to exercice the language :) , I saw your commentaries about the quality of dress here but its not very true, you must take more time to figure out european brands and the places, its a differet country different habits and culture so early conclusions are not the fact...I know because I know USA my brother lives there in Washington DC he is a top scientist teaching in a medicine School, but yes people here have lower wages so on a lot of places there will be not very quality clothes, but then in the next corner there is , you have to know the region and the places, but here you have all the raw matterials and the quality , and even if you knew a lot of the italian best brands are made here in Portugal cheap labour and the best shoes brands are here to mostly in the north that is most industrial than the interior and the south. I have responded to Alan Martins here to give him more or less an idea and a context of the cost of living in the perpective of a local like me...check it out on ALAN MARTINS that asked you, cheers bye!!
Love you guys! We are just putting all of our documents together for D7 this week and will be in the Oeiras area for our rental in April! I was wondering who you used for your travel insurance coming from the United States to Portugal?
I'm pretty sure that the demand for this VISA is not only 665€/month. I do think they consider the minimal wage annually. The minimal wage in Portugal is pay 14 times a year. In the Pordata (portugal data) site (the site in Portugal with everything about numbers, statistics, etc), they had the minimal wage for 2021 is 9310/year, divided by 12 is 775,80€. In the site they show that the minimal wage in the year of 1980 was 44,90€.
Thanks for the information! I am debating whether or not to travel to Portugal first as a tourist to go and look around for places to stay. My question is why would anyone sign a 6 lease remotely...? Sight unseen? What if the neighbors are noisy... ? Do you think it's possible to get a "lease offer" or some sort of situation to be able to get out of it once you are there? I would just hate to sign a long term lease and then to hate the place when I arrive.... it seems risky. Any advice?
Great video. Thank you for sharing. My wife and I are in the process of applying for the D7 Visa. do we both need to apply and if so may I use my wife's pension as a passive income for my self as well? I have a savings an IRA and 401K accounts may i use them? Thank you for your help.
Hey I am desperate to find out HOW MUCH TAX are you paying? Did you qualify for the NHR and how much total taxation are you paying including social contributions, everything
Great video, we have our interview in a week or so. Have gone through all the same steps but will tweak my personal statement as yours was great. Exciting times!
Hello again, it’s 5PM and 30 minutes today 30th of June, it’s funny just recognized you at CAMPO DE OURIQUE neighborhood, just passing by and saw you both at a corner in an Italian restaurant just next to the garden plaza …so funny, I did not say hello because it could be weird for you has u do not know me. Glad to see u are getting around very quickly , campo de Ourique is ine of the best neighborhood around Lisbon… Well it was nice…
Hi and thanks so much for sharing!! I do not have Instagram. However, I do have Facebook. Is there another way I could reach out to you (via FB or email) regarding getting the bank representatives contact info? Please let me know, as I am in the process of my D7 and I need to open up a bank account!
Thanks for the video. Great information! Do you think 1+ year in advance is too early to get the NIF? Would I have to reapply if I changed source of income within that time?
Hi there. Thanks for the super insightful video. Do you have any information regarding unmarried partners? What documents may be required to justify the relationship etc if applying on a single remote salary? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks again
Thank you guys! You are the best! I am unsure how long before the flight to Portugal should I send the documents to them? For example : I plan to go in June 2022. I am taking care of Nif, bank account and docs. But when should I book my appointment with them to hand over my application package? Thank you!
I have like 8k euro's but it not a monthly streams as a freelancer i don't get a stipulated amount but I have been able to save that much. So can i apply for a D7 visa?
Thank you for the Best Informative video ever on the D7 visa that I am considering. Love your channel, and Subscribed to your channel at first sight. Couple of questions. 1. Where is this D7 application form available. I went to the Portugal consulate website and there is no mention of the D7 or the forms for that Visa. When i do a google search it points me always to these companies who want to do the D7 service for a hefty charge. 2. With the D7, have you done any Tax implication Vlogs being a US citizen. I don't' intend to work (I will be a retiree) and considering this visa to enter Europe, and visit neighboring countries living in the region. 3. Will I be allowed to buy a Condo with a D7 in places like Lisbon or Porto where the Golden Visa puts a buy restrictions. 4. If I may ask what city have you chosen to live -not being personal and just curious. Great no nonsense to the point info. Keep up your good work and hope you are by now well settled and enjoying your new residence. Cheers!!!
This was so great, thank you! Question regarding the personal statement. Any ideas of what to do if I know no one living in Portugal currently? I hear you had a list of folks but I don’t know anyone personally. Thanks for your thoughts on this :).
Good info, thank you. I'm also using VFS Global for the Portuguese consulate in Washington, DC. They told me I need to come in person to have my biometrics recorded, even though my fingerprinting done for the required FBI check. Did you have to go in person to DC after mailing your application packet? I also emailed the consulate directly to confirm acceptable accommodation. VFS's checklist states a 6-month hotel reservation is acceptable. This week the consulate replied that a 6-month, non-refundable lease, registered with the Portuguese tax authority, is required.
I have been scouring the Facebook group and Google for the answer to the funded bank account question and was hoping your case would be the (an) answer. Thank you!
Hey, thanks for the video! Question: I work remotely both full-time and freelance jobs and my income is taxed in my country of residence (Jordan). If I move to Portugal on the D7 visa, will it be taxed in both countries? Which tax rates would apply to me?
Thank you I’m actually in the Uk myself. I’m applying on behalf of my brother. May I ask, where did you have those documents notarised was this in the US? And who did you use to do this? Will the Portuguese Consulate accept notarising in your own country! Also specifically which documents are required to be notarised for example is the visa application form itself one of them. My brother will go in person to consulate in London so another question are you aware if they want hand written completed documents or typed up ones? Also did you provide anything written in Portuguese? Or was the entire application in English! I know these seem more mundane questions! I would be grateful for a reply? Many Thanks
Thanks a lot for sharing your journey! I'm going through the process and have a question, does the spouse apply separately once the the primary applicant is granted the visa or do we both apply at the same time.
can you apply for D7 living off social security of 1200+ per month ? Your videos are helpful.I plan to retire early next year and travel thru Europe and try to get residency in Portugal or Spain. Thanks.
This was the most informative and helpful video I've ever seen on YT. Thank you very much again! I read the comments to avoid asking the same questions, but I couldn't find any information about the ID card :( My visa application is pretty close, I got my NIF number but I couldn't open a bank account. I'm not an EU citizen and I can't open the account because I dont have EU ID number. The system does not accept my passport number, how did you solve this situation? I would be greatefull if you could help :)
Love your video! Agree with another viewer, “ Very informative, not too chatty, right to the point.“ we are planning to retire a year from now. Should we apply for NIF online now and open a bank account in Portugal when we visit the country later this year? Is it too early to apply for NIF and bank account?
Great video! before you applied how many months did you set up your statements to show the monthly income of paying yourself for the monthly income requirement?
Love your videos. In terms of proof or income was the bank's statement of regular income coming into the account enough or did you need to show the proof of business as well? Like, ownership or registration of the business etc? Thanks :)
Hello, great video, very informative! I work remotely for a company based in my home country (Australia) - I wonder if they require tax return records or just a work contract and bank statements? Other than a passport, did you have to show any other form of identification like birth certificates?
Great info 👍 can you please share how much you have to pay the person who helped open an account with Banco Best? How’s the fees like for this bank? Minimum balance? Thanks a lot 🙏
I did not pay for his services to open the account. There are some fees for the account, but I am not sure what they are, but you can look at the website to know for sure.
Situation: Family of four from US vacationing in Portugal. As head of household id like to get a D7 visa. Do you i have to travel back to the states in order to apply for it? If so, must my wife and children come with me and/or can they stay in Portugal?
I did not know that the photos for the Visa application needed to be in a different size format. Did you just ask (wherever) you had you photos taken to size them differently? We had our passport pictures done at CVS and everything on their website says 2x2.
well my question is, when you apply embassy, do you need to tell them that i am applying for d7. because when i downloaded forms, i haven't seen d7 option. it is just saying short term and long term visa.please reply
Understand that the bank account in Portugal required prior to D7 visa app in the consulate ? so how to open bank account without traveling to Portugal ?
Hi. Thanks for all the information shared in the vid. I have a question I haven’t been able to find the answer to. Do you know what is the max amount of time one can travel outside of Portugal (outside of Schengen) without losing the residence?
Thanks for sharing your experience, There's a lot of confusion about the source of income out there, Is a self-employed worker/ Freelancer included in this Visa category?
Hey Dan and Michelle, I was looking over the details of the D7 and it talks about Passive Income for 6 months. My 401k and retirement accounts easily meet this threshold, but I will not have it in a brokerage account that I can actively get to until I am older. Once the house sells in Austin then I will have that amount easily. But it says it needs to show 6 months of Passive income, is that 6 months of passive income like month over month, or the total of the minimum amount required, which I would generate in a month most likely. Essentially my original thinking was sell the house and on closing move to Portugal. Is that thinking flawed?
Can i show my husband's regular salary from a 9 to 5 job as my and my kids' source of sustenance. We plan to move to Portugal while my husband will continue working in our country of residence. Do you think it can work?
Thanks for replying. Is it possible that he applies for the visa but doesn't move there only visits occasionally because he works a job (not remotely) where we live.
Thank you so much for this info, I have a quick question I am confused about duration of return flight ticket - did you submit a return ticket or one way ticket in your application?
Thanks! very informative.
Thanks for the info 🙏
Thank you for your video! I'm taking notes while I listen. Wishing you all the best! 😊😉

A lot of helpful information, thank you and congratulations on your new adventure in Portugal. For how many months did you purchase your travel insurance? Would 4 months, which is D7 visa duration, be enough for application or does it need to be longer?
We did the minimum 4 months. Once that’s up we’ll get private health insurance.

We both listed assets that were in the other's name, stating we were married. We did include IRA & 401Ks
Hey I am desperate to find out HOW MUCH TAX are you paying? Did you qualify for the NHR and how much total taxation are you paying including social contributions, everything
Hei I just got me D7 visa approved after in-between 4 months visa may I know next what should I do to get residence permit?in portugal
How can you do the consulate appointment if you don't live near a Portuguese consulate??
Super helpful! I was in search for something like this. Thank you so much!
Very clear info. Tks
The D7 has a minimum stay of 6 months. The NHR has no minimum stay. If I get the D7 then the NHR do I have a minimum stay or not?
Yes, the 6 month minimum stay remains a requirement
Thank you for the video. Can you share the contact of the the person that helped you at banco best?
The only thing i find hard to understand, how many months of salary did you show, and what salary did you take?
Great video, we have our interview in a week or so. Have gone through all the same steps but will tweak my personal statement as yours was great. Exciting times!

Hello will you be making one video on renewal of yr Visa after two years? Looking forward to it!
Very informative video, many thanks! Do you know whether it is possible to do voluntary work/unpaid work on a D7 visa?

This was a great video. We…our family…hoping to make the move next year. You really provided a lot of valuable details. Thanks so much!
Can you apply if you are in Portugal on a tourist visa
Thanks for the video. Great information! Do you think 1+ year in advance is too early to get the NIF? Would I have to reapply if I changed source of income within that time?
I don’t think so, and your NIF won’t be tied to your income sources so no problem there.
I live in karachi Pakistan I like your comment
Hi there. Thanks for the super insightful video. Do you have any information regarding unmarried partners? What documents may be required to justify the relationship etc if applying on a single remote salary? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks again

I did not know that the photos for the Visa application needed to be in a different size format. Did you just ask (wherever) you had you photos taken to size them differently? We had our passport pictures done at CVS and everything on their website says 2x2.
Yes, we called around to find someone that would print them to the correct size. I think it was a Walgreens.

I believe it is up to 8 months within 2 year window
How long did the whole process take for you?
Fixed deposits savings in the bank are counted?
Hi, how long did you get your travel insurance for?
Is the D7 similar to the Golden Visa??

💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks immensely
I am elated🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the video
Do we need a letter from Google, let's say we making money from AdSense ?
I don’t think they would send a letter. I’d just show your earnings from Google and the bank account statement they go into
did you apply for this inside the country?
Are you able to apply with your spouse?
Thanks for sharing your experience, There's a lot of confusion about the source of income out there, Is a self-employed worker/ Freelancer included in this Visa category?
Yes, that should be counted.
@@HoneymoonAlways But does the self-employed/freelance employment have to be digital based/online i.e a non Portugal derived source of income?

Hey Dan and Michelle, I was looking over the details of the D7 and it talks about Passive Income for 6 months. My 401k and retirement accounts easily meet this threshold, but I will not have it in a brokerage account that I can actively get to until I am older. Once the house sells in Austin then I will have that amount easily. But it says it needs to show 6 months of Passive income, is that 6 months of passive income like month over month, or the total of the minimum amount required, which I would generate in a month most likely. Essentially my original thinking was sell the house and on closing move to Portugal. Is that thinking flawed?
Welcome to Portugal. You should also check Madeira and Azores archipelagos, it's also Portuguese.
They are on our list!
Thank you so much for your videos. We’ve been following you, as well as Experts Everywhere, in order to be prepared for our move to Porto.
That’s exciting! Kalie and Josh are awesome!
Can i show my husband's regular salary from a 9 to 5 job as my and my kids' source of sustenance. We plan to move to Portugal while my husband will continue working in our country of residence. Do you think it can work?
That will work if he is also moving with you.
Thanks for replying. Is it possible that he applies for the visa but doesn't move there only visits occasionally because he works a job (not remotely) where we live.
Dear Sir,
Is it a must to have a Portuguese bank Account in order to apply for the visa ? Thanks
Applying from the US I believe it is now required.
Thank you so much for this info, I have a quick question I am confused about duration of return flight ticket - did you submit a return ticket or one way ticket in your application?
We just submitted one-way tickets and left the returning info blank.
