Which Route to Portugal Is Yours?

Portugal offers several legal routes to residency. The right one depends on where your passport was issued, where your income comes from, and how long you intend to stay.

We have guided clients through each of these routes since 1996, from the first application to permanent residency and citizenship.

D7 Passive Income Visa
Who it’s for: retirees and anyone living on pensions, rental income, dividends or royalties.
Portugal’s residency route for non-EU citizens with a stable, recurring income earned outside employment. We assess whether your income qualifies before you file, so the application is built on solid ground.
D8 Digital Nomad Visa
Who it’s for: remote workers and freelancers earning from employers or clients outside Portugal.
Live in Madeira while you keep working for your existing employer or client base. We handle the income evidence, the paperwork and the tax questions that follow your move.
Portugal Golden Visa (Fund Route)
Who it’s for: non-EU investors who want residency without relocating full time.
Residency through a qualifying investment fund, with limited physical presence required. We coordinate the structure, the compliance file and the renewals that keep it valid.

Not Sure Which Route Applies to You?

The right route often turns on details that are easy to get wrong. Let us help you choose.
EU / EEA / Swiss Citizens in Portugal
EU / EEA / Swiss Citizens
Who it’s for: citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland moving to Portugal.
No visa needed, but registration is. We take care of your tax number, residence certificate and social security enrolment so your move is compliant from day one.
Residency, PR & Portuguese Citizenship
Who it’s for: anyone already holding a residence permit and planning for the long term.
Renewals, permanent residency and the citizenship application that can follow. We track the deadlines, because a missed renewal can undo years of accumulated residency.
