D7 passive income residence visa
Visto de residência para titulares de rendimentos próprios
The long-standing route for people living on a pension, rental income, dividends or other regular passive income. The income bar is far lower than the D8, but the income has to be genuinely passive and reliably documented.
Who it is for. Retirees and others with stable passive income of at least the Portuguese minimum wage.
Worth knowing. The threshold tracks the national minimum wage (€920 per month in 2026). Consulates commonly ask for savings equal to about a year of the required income and apply their own documentary standards, so requirements vary between posts.
