Interested in moving to Portugal? If you’ve started looking into becoming an expat in Portugal you have probably heard of the D7 visa. The D7 visa is the most popular way for non-EU residents to move to Portugal and settle long-term in this beautiful country. In this video, we explain the steps involved in getting yourself a D7 visa to live in Portugal.

Getting the D7 is a complicated process! If you want help, reach out to StartAbroad. We specialize in relocating Americans and Canadians to Portugal. We offer a Visa Application Service for the D7 visa and the Portuguese digital nomad visa.

What you will need to include in your D7 application packet:
- The application for a national visa
- A passport valid for at least 6 months after the expiration of your 120 day visa AND that contains at least 2 blank pages (front and back)
- 2 recent passport photos, size 35mmx45mm
- A notarized color copy of your main passport page
- If you are not a citizen where you are applying, proof of legal residency
- A personal statement declaring the reasons you are seeking residency and outlining your qualifications
- Proof of financial means to support yourself.
- Your NIF and Portuguese bank account
- A criminal record certificate.
- A release for a Portuguese criminal record check by the SEF
- Private health insurance coverage.
- Proof of accommodation in Portugal.
- If relevant, copies of marriage certificates and birth certificates
- For some consulates you will also need a reference letter from a contact in Portugal.
