Reviews

From people who moved with us.

Portugalize handled our entire move from the UK. Bank account, visa, tax setup. One team for everything. I can’t imagine doing this with separate firms.

FAQ

Common questions about the D7.

The D7 visa allows non-EU/EEA citizens to live in Portugal based on stable passive income. It grants a 2-year residence permit, renewable for 3 more years. After that, you can apply for permanent residency or citizenship.

The core requirements are: stable passive income of at least €3,680 per month, a clean criminal record, health insurance, proof of accommodation in Portugal, a Portuguese NIF, and a Portuguese bank account. Income thresholds increase if you’re applying with a spouse or dependents. Requirements can vary slightly by consulate, which is one of the reasons it helps to have someone guide you through the process.

Pensions, retirement income, rental income, dividends, interest, and investment returns. Savings can also be considered depending on the consulate. If you’re unsure whether your income qualifies, book a consultation and we’ll advise.

Yes. Proof of accommodation in Portugal is required as part of the visa application. This can be a rental agreement or a property deed. We review your lease before submission to make sure it meets consulate requirements.

€2,500 per individual. +€1,000 per spouse, +€500 per dependent child. Fixed price, no hidden fees.

Yes. Government and administrative fees such as visa application fees, apostilles, and any translations required by the consulate are not covered. These are fees paid directly to official bodies or third-party services we don’t provide. We’ll give you a clear estimate of what to expect before you start.

Yes. It’s one of the most popular routes for retiring in Portugal.

Yes. Both are required for the D7 application. Our package includes both, handled remotely before you need them.

Yes. The visa application is submitted at the Portuguese consulate in your country of residence. We prepare everything remotely and guide you through the consulate appointment.

Low when properly prepared. Most rejections come from incomplete documentation or insufficient proof of income. Our team reviews everything before submission.

This depends on your country of origin, income types, and whether you qualify for NHR 2.0. We coordinate your visa and tax setup from the start so nothing is left to chance.

The D7 is for passive income (pensions, dividends, rental income). The D8 is for active remote work (freelancing, employment, online business). Not sure which one applies to you? Book a consultation and we’ll advise.

The D7 requires passive income and no investment. The Golden Visa requires a significant capital investment but has no income requirement. They suit very different situations.

You’ll need to apply for a residence permit through AIMA. We support you through this appointment and make sure your documents are in order.

Yes. If you booked an immigration consultation before purchasing a relocation package, the consultation fee is fully deducted from the package price.
