Residence Permits · Portugal
Move to Portugal.
One of Europe's most welcoming residency destinations: warm climate, low cost of living, and two clear visa routes.
Overview
Why Portugal?
Portugal remains one of Europe's most popular relocation destinations. The D7 visa suits those with passive income or savings. The D8 is for remote workers and freelancers. Both lead to a renewable residence permit and a path to permanent residency.
