Frequently asked questions
What income do I need for the D8 visa?
Approximately 4× the Portuguese minimum wage (~€3,040/month) from remote employment or freelance income.
Can my family join me on a D8?
Yes. Family reunification is possible once your D8 is approved.
Does the D8 lead to permanent residency?
After 5 years of legal residency, you can apply for permanent residency or citizenship.
Do you guarantee visa approval?
No. Approval is entirely at the discretion of the Portuguese authorities. We ensure your application is optimally prepared.
What about Portugal's tax regime for new residents?
The original NHR regime closed to new applicants at end of 2023. A successor programme (IFICI/NHR 2.0) launched in 2024 for qualifying professionals and entrepreneurs. Tax filings and eligibility assessment require a licensed Portuguese tax adviser - we can connect you with one.
