how to show you are actually searching for a place to live?
So useful! Thanks! Always great to know more about the visa types when going to Portugal
Excellent concise info!!
There is info missing and not fully correct. One example is the above comment reply.
It's the Schengen area - Shenzhen is a city in China! 😅
I realized I was saying that after I recorded the video 😂
Hi I am living in Portugal on the D7 visa. I have residency card. I came in 16-7-2022
Was the process simple..?
Do you have a list of all the documents and processes for applying to get a D7 from the UK, including at which point you apply for a Nif and bank account? I understand it may cost etc.
Shenzhen is in China and also you forgot to mention the Police Clearance Report.
Shcengen
Useful info. Thanks for sharing.
In your videom, you confuse people by saying that national health insurance is only for those who work in Portugal or contribute to it. You forgot about the pensioners from EU and other countries with D7 visa, the first category of them gets residence fast and then is entitled, as being residents, to national health system. It is important when you do something publicly to provide exact information.
Nice video, my question is this I have a company in Nigeria which doesn’t require my presence I make close to 10000 euros annually am I qualified for the D7 visa?
After a lot of research I want a celerity about the requirements for the D7 visa , I have a company which include the following-: rental, farm and transport I make around 900 euros if converted am I qualified for the visa am single
Hi there great video! I have a question. How long can you leave Portugal while on a D7 - outside of Schengan? Also if you stay within Schengan, how long can you leave Portugal while on a D7? Also curious as to why you would require healthcare insurance if on many sites it says that you would have access to healthcare while on D7? Thanks so much
@Paterson340 - If you are on the D7 visa, I read that you must remain in the country for at least 183 days per year to maintain your status. As for the healthcare, you need to buy your own private insurance initially…not permanently (unless you choose to) until you are able to transition to the public health care system. I’m not sure of the exact time frame for transitioning. Do your own research.
Would love to get the details
With the D7 visa what are the tax laws for income capital gains etc?
I have a question, I see you indicate that without a visa, your only allowed to stay in Portugal for 90 days within a 180 period. Does this mean that I can leave, possibly visit another country for three months, then come back to Portugal for another 3 months. I wasn’t aware that you have to apply at the consulate in your country, I thought I would apply for the D7 while I’m in Portugal. Is it ever possible to make the visa application in Portugal? I’m from the US. Thanks, any help is appreciated.
Can you still work ONLINE from home though? Cause that'd be considered as an extra income!
Hi,
I am a 46-year-old Instrument & Electrical Designer working with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and have 25 years of experience.
I am planning to move from Dubai to Portugal with my wife and 1-year-old baby.
Before making my decision I want to test the waters and come to Portugal on a visit visa.
I am looking for your advice, that if I come for a 1-week survey. which area or city I should focus more on, where (1) a Hotel stay is a reasonable price (2) Pakistani or Indian Food is available nearby (3) I could buy a property (4) and plan for any Business.
Can you please suggest the City and Location to focus on during this one-week visit with the Agenda of Traveling and Applying for PR in the near future?
Hi there, I recommend either the Algarve or Lisbon. The Algarve is quieter during the year but gets very busy during the summer. Lisbon always has things going on all year round. If you are interested in moving to Portugal, you can fill out our complimentary consultation form on our website - portugalbuyer.com/contact
@@PortugalBuyers Thanks for the valuable suggestion. Let me focus on Algarve.
…”Portugal’s health care is only available to those who are working and paying into it.” Sorry, I’m confused. Didn’t you mention with this Retiree Visa you don’t have to be working? I’m unclear how D7 Visa holders are paying into Portugal’s health care system. Can you please explain?
Yes but you are still paying into the economy and through taxes and living within Portugal. This helps boost the economy year round within Portugal
At the moment all residents of Portugal with legal residency documents or visas can access healthcare for free, but that is likely to change in the future as other EU countries require foreign residents that never paid Social Security contributions in that country, to pay the full cost. Everyone can use the healthcare services, it's just that if you never paid SS contributions you won't get it for free.
Same in France.
Actually you will need the health insurance until your immigration appointment after a few months. That's when you actually receive your renewable 2 year visa, at this point you can use the Portuguese health system and not pay insurance. Side note you could pay a supplement fee and get private insurance also.
I live in PH but I am not a PHilippines citizen. I have an ecommerce business an i earn more than the requirement, I also have a Job too wiht gives me like $30k/year. This means I qualify? Or Do i have to go home to my home country to apply?
Thanks to those who will respond
it is so confusing. I have read on numerous websites you cannot work on this visa. Do you mean you can work remotely or for a Portuguese company?
Please a seer people’s questions in your comments section , if you uploading Videos !
Thank you for commenting and I agree with you 100% and will do a better job in the future
How many months bank statements is required for submission at the time of applying for the visa?
Same question
Twelve
They also will want to see how much income you have declared for tax in the previous 3 years, and how much tax you've paid. If you've been a tax dodger, they'll smoke you out.
instead of bank statements it might be better to send the actual source of passive income statements. Also he left out the part where you need a years salary in a Portuguese bank and you need a "NIF" taxpayer number too.
If someone get work permit then second step what please guide me thanking you
You didn't mention portuguese taxes. They are high and all D7 visa holders will have to pay portuguese tax, currently 10% on pension income and 20% on all other income, which is a lot less than the portuguese pay.
In addition to portuguese taxes, US citizens will also have to pay taxes in the US, even if they live outside the US, unless they renounce their US citizenship.
Digital nomads won't pay tax in Portugal, but they can only stay for a maximum of 1 year.
After that 1 year, taxes will also kick in.
That's how Portugal can pay for the wonderfull healthcare, education, police, and social services etc TH-camrs praise so much... It's not exactly FREE.
Great point. I will be making another video on taxes in Portugal very soon
Even though you have a D7, would you still have to show your passport if going to Spain, as they wouldn't know if you had a D7 unless you have to show it
If you are moving between Portugal and Spain there is no border control so you would not need to show anything.
Thank you for the information, Can this visa lead to citizenship?
Yes it can after 5 years - thank you for watching and commenting
Hello, nice video. Is this also the same as the National Long stay visa?
Is it required to open a bank account first?
How many months of salary is it required especially for people working from home?
Thank you
Hi there. Thank you for watching the video! It differs from the D7 visa as the primary purpose of the D7 visa is not employment but rather retirement. The national long-stay visa encompasses various purposes, including work, study, family reunification, research, and other specific circumstances. The requirements and documentation for the National Long Stay visa will depend on the particular purpose of your stay. You would need to provide a steady stream of income to be eligible. I would suggest speaking with an expert to understand your specific situation. Hope this helps
Besides the D7 Visa, do you need to have a savings with a certain amount?
I just got off the phone from an agent in Lisbon and he told me I need to have close to 19,000 euros for me and another 8 or so for my wife in a Portuguese bank account before I even try to apply. And when I renew my visa after 2 years, I need to still have close to 30,000 euros in the bank.
Hello, I'm 30 years old and I'm working remotely, can I apply for D7 ?
This is also in my mind. İ'm a full time employee.
@@hsblkdr pls, reply here if you find out something about it
@@gvinianidzegivi Sure:)
Thank you for watching the video! You have a couple of options depending on your situation. You can apply for a digital nomad visa if you make enough income. The requirements are that you must be making 4 times the minimum wage (around $3350). For the D7 visa, the D7 visa may also be a good fit for your situation. If you meet that requirement, then you can work freely within Portugal. I always suggest speaking to an expert first. Hope this helps
It depends on your employment contract, it must allow remote working in Portugal and the company you work for must give you the same benefits you'd get in a portuguese company, written in your contract, such as at least 30 days paid holidays per year, paid sick leave, etc.
This is to prevent foreign companies not abiding by employment laws for workers based in Portugal.
You'll have to submit a copy of your employment contract with your visa application. If you don't, you aplication will be ignored.
If you work as a freelancer, you may have to register in Portugal as self-employed and pay taxes in Portugal, which are quite high.
Please NOTE: This reply is for D7 visas. Remote workers can apply for the Digital Nomad visa valid for 1 year only, not renewable. They won't pay taxes in Portugal with Digital Nomad visa, but I don't think it will count for the 5 year residency and after 1 year it expires and you'd need to apply for another visa to continue living in Portugal. Taxes would kick in.
What is like looking for a job in Portugal not white collar jobs any kind of jobs?
If you speak portuguese, you'll be able to find a job very easily. If you don't, it's very hard. There are jobs in agriculture, construction, cafes, restaurants, shops, etc. The minium salary is currently 760 Euros per month, before tax is deducted.
Renting a room costs around 350 Euros to 600 Euros... and more. It's impossible to live with minimum salary. The portuguese are emmigrating to other EU countries to work because they cannot live in Portugal.
Life in Portugal is expensive.
Can I work in Portugal
I’m scared to sign a 12 months rental agreement in case my visa is declined.
It has happened to good folks... another very common situation is when the visa processing takes longer than expected (it always does as there are hundreds of thousands of aplications) and you start paying rent in Portugal but have to wait for your visa in your own country before moving.
Not cheap...
True but its the law that you only have to live there 1/3 of the contract length and you can break it, if you want. Basically if you sign a year lease technically you can move out after 4 months.
@@kays1370 But at what cost?
@@wwlt.trevor0512 None to my understanding, I've seen that when people do break their lease they notify after 4 months that in 60 days they will move out.
@@kays1370 Correction: If you sign a 3 year standard rental contract, you can break it after 1 year, by giving a written notice to the landlord. But if you sign a rental contract for a shorter period (less than 3 years) or for furnished accommodation, or for an AirBnB flat, that clause does not apply and you have to pay the rent in full for the whole period you signed.
very usefulI! I have questions about the visa. I have noticed that after stayin for five years, I can get the right for not only permanent residency but . Would you please check this for me? I'd really appreciate it.
You'll need to speak portuguese fluently to be considered for citizenship. And they'll check if you have lived and paid taxes in Portugal for all those 5 years, if you are settled and immersed in the local portuguese community, and if you really are going to stay in Portugal or just want citizenship to move on to another EU country. It's not guaranteed you'll get citizenship. It depends on your circunstances. The law may change between now and 5 years from now.
TIP: If you are a young family with kids who also speak portuguese, and all of you are settled and speak portuguese, you'll have a good chance of getting citizenship.
Or if you have a good medical qualification and speak portuguese well, you'll be first in the queue.
Thanks a lot!
@@user-td2fm3oy8t Glad to help. My answer above was rather simplistic, but it's difficult to cover everything without knowing your circunstances.
Portugal is trying to attract young people and families to settle in the country and become portuguese because our population is decreasing, getting old and low birth rate. We also have a serious shortage of professionals in some fields. We need more people to pay taxes so that we can lower taxes (currently taxes are very high) but we also want people that will integrate well because we are a very homogeneous society with no class or political wars, we are many different ethnic groups living together in harmony, we don't want to ruin that.
The citizenship programme may change or close in the future, as there are a lot of people applying right now. After living & working in Portugal for 5 years, applicants will have another 2 years from submitting application to finally getting a portuguese / EU passport. It's not a quick & easy process but if you are a young couple, with kids and a qualification in demand, you'll have priority.
If the programme closes, there will always be the possibility to apply for citizenship for people that will be an asset for the country.
If you want to know more details google up the officail website "SEF how to get portuguese nationality" or any other question. You can also contact the portuguese consulate nearest to you but right now they all have long queues waiting for replies.
@@donnacosta5633 You need A2 level Portuguese, right? Is that level considered fluent?
@@wwlt.trevor0512 Qualifications are irrelevant for the SEF immigration services. What matters is that applicants are able to speak fluently in portuguese, understand and make themselves understood 100% in portuguese.
Some people are able to do this with very basic portuguese, others are not. Those who already speak more than one language will find it easy.
