About
Live full-time in Portugal with passive income—affordable, secure, and Schengen-accessible
Portugal’s Retirement Visa, issued under the D7 category, is one of the most attractive routes in Europe for non-EU retirees seeking security, sunshine, and a relaxed pace of life. With a minimum income requirement starting from just €9,870 per year, the visa is ideal for those living off pensions, rental income, or other stable passive sources. It offers legal residency, access to Portugal’s public healthcare system, and visa-free travel across the Schengen Zone—with a clear path to permanent residency or citizenship after five years.
Through our Private Office Hub, we connect retirees with trusted legal and relocation professionals who handle every aspect of the process—from sourcing compliant health insurance to registering for a NIF (tax number) and opening a bank account. Whether you're drawn to Lisbon, the Algarve, or the wine valleys of the north, we ensure your relocation is handled with care, clarity, and attention to the details that matter most to retirees.
