Moving to Portugal? Buying a House Does Not Automatically Grant Residence
Since Brexit, UK citizens (like Americans and Canadians) are limited to spending 90 days out of every 180 days in Portugal, unless they have a Visa.
If your plan is to retire here or live full-time, you need to apply for the correct status BEFORE you move.
TWO POPULAR OPTIONS:
- The D7 Visa (Passive Income): Ideal for retirees. You must prove you have a stable recurring income (like a pension) that allows you to live without working in Portugal.
- Digital Nomad Visa: For those who work remotely for companies based outside Portugal.
THE PROCESS: It starts at the Portuguese Consulate in your home country and finishes with an appointment at AIMA (formerly SEF) in Portugal. It involves criminal record checks, bank statements, and tax numbers.
WE HANDLE THE BUREAUCRACY: Don’t let paperwork ruin your dream. We can guide you through the Visa application to ensure you have the legal right to enjoy your new home 365 days a year.
