Residence visa for retirees or income holders
The D7 visa applies to retirees or holders of their own income (movable or immovable property, intellectual property or financial investments) who wish to reside in Portugal. Those who apply for this visa may enjoy the status of non-habitual residents and thus be exempt from taxation on such income or pensions obtained outside Portugal, provided that they have already been taxed in their country of origin. We chose this visa option because we have a company in Brazil and have how to prove enough income to live in Portugal. Meanwhile, we are open to other options. Now take your research block and write down the necessary documents below:

In both cases, present a copy of the last income tax return, proving the moveable or immovable property you own, as well as the availability of these resources in Portugal.
Accommodation: Proof of accommodation in Portugal. Accommodation can be proven by presenting one of the following items:
