The Portugal D7 Visa, also known as the passive income visa, is perfect for anyone seeking a relaxed lifestyle in the sun. It's designed for those who can demonstrate a stable income from pensions, savings, or other passive sources, allowing them to live in Portugal without needing local employment.
Proof of passive income*
Minimum 820€ per month
💶 Minimum savings
+9.840€ (±10 754$)**
*Such as pensions, investments, rental income, or similar.
**Amounts vary depending on whether you have dependents or not.

🏠 Legal residency
Obtain a residency card with the visa
✅ Easy for Americans
Besides being a non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizen and a clean criminal record, you must prove passive income and savings that fits the following sources ✅:
👉 Pension: Regular pension payments from your home country.
👉 Rentals: Income from rental properties.
👉 Investments: Dividends, interest, and other investment income.
It depends on your application!
-> If you are applying solo 👨
A full annual Portuguese minimum wage income 💸:
9.840,00 euros, as annual income.
-> If you are applying with a spouse or major family dependant 👫
Add 50% to the full annual minimum wage 💸:
4.920,00 euros, totalling 14.760,00 euros, as annual income.
-> If you are applying with children 👨👩👧👦
Add 30% for each dependent child 💸:
2.952,00 euros, added to your annual income.
So, basically, a family of 2 spouses (9.840,00 + 4.920,00) and 2 children (2.952,00 + 2.952,00) would need proof of an annual income of 20.664,00 euros (and the same value in savings).
You can bring:
Anyone whom you or your spouse may have legal guardianship (like disabled children or family members under your care, siblings you may have legal guardianship, adopted children).

Straightforward Process / Excellent Communcation
The NIF application was quick and easy through AnchorLess. I got my number in just a few days with no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend this service!
Colin, US
This is a top notch service!
Fantastic service, very fast turnaround and getting the NIF was cheaper than what we had been quoted elsewhere. I had a slight issue due to a mistake that I had made and they were really helpful to make sure that the delay was minimal. Highly recommended!

How I Effortlessly Opened a Portuguese Account
Anchorless made opening our non-resident Millennial BPC bank account anxiety-free. They are also very responsive—everything was done online! The only exception was sending our signed documents via UPS to their Lisboa office for the bank to review.
Kristopher, US
Highly recommended!!
My experience with Anchorless in applying for the NIF was a breeze. The instructions to complete my application which followed after paying the required fee was effortless. The processing time was quick which to my surprise I received it today, Jul23. Also, the Anchorless team sent me updates from the time they receive my application up to the time it was processed and approved! Thank you, team, for the efficiency and the attention given to my application. I appreciate it very much.

Excellent service
Excellent service! I cannot fault them at all. Friendly, professional and prompt. Thanks to all for making everything so easy.
Customer, US
Better than helpful
In expecting mediocre, non-personalized help from Anchorless I was, I'm happy to say, pleasantly surprised to be wrong. I'm considering using them again for phase two. "Going the extra mile" as the cliche says is what this company does and I would highly recommend them to anyone unsure of themselves when it comes to completing the paperwork required to begin the visa application process.
Robert, US
Professional From beginning to end
Completely professional from start to finish! Any questions I had were replied with immediately and it was so quick to receive my Nif . Thank you
Joanne, US
The service was absolutely fantastic
The service was absolutely fantastic. I submitted the application with no major issue, it was reviewed in less than an hour and i received my nif in 3 days and password less than 10 days after. Also, quick and nice support via chat. Reccomended.
Francesca, US
Great service
The service ran smoothly and very quickly. I was kept updated along the way and also given useful advice on changing my password. The only hiccup I experienced was on the Portuguese web site when I couldn’t find my translator but once I’d solved that it was plain sailing. Thanks AnchorLess.
Lesley, US
Quick and easy
Online process was smooth, with quick and easy steps via their online portal. My application was evaluated the same day and despite purchasing the lower tier option, NIF arrived the same week.
