Yes - many Brits retire in Portugal with the D7 visa. You need to demonstrate stable passive income (pension, state pension, dividends - around 920 euros/month minimum), savings (around 11,040 euros+), a clean criminal record, valid health coverage, and accommodation in Portugal.

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 920€ per month
💶 Minimum savings
+11.040€**
*Such as pensions, investments, rental income, or similar.
**Amounts vary depending on whether you have dependents or not.

🏠 Legal residency

✅ Designed for UK residents
Besides being a non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizen and a clean criminal record, you must prove passive income and savings that fit 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 💸:
11.040,00 euros, as annual income.
-> If you are applying with a spouse or major family dependent 👫
Add 50% to the full annual minimum wage 💸:
5.520,00 euros, totaling 16.560,00 euros, as annual income.
-> If you are applying with children 👨👩👧👦
Add 30% for each dependent child 💸:
3.312,00 euros, added to your annual income.
So, basically, a family of 2 spouses (11.040,00 + 5.520,00) and 2 children (3.312,00 + 3.312,00) would need proof of an annual income of 23.184,00 euros (and the same value in savings).
You can bring:
- Your spouse or civil partner;
- Your minor children (those above 18 qualify if enrolled in a Portuguese educational facility);
- Dependent parents (under your care);
Anyone for whom you or your spouse have legal guardianship (like disabled children or family members under your care, siblings under your legal guardianship, adopted children).

Anchorless VIP Relocation Package
I recently completed the Anchorless VIP package for my D7 visa application to Portugal, and the experience exceeded my expectations. My case manager, Rafaela, was an absolute lifesaver - she guided me through every step of the paperwork and clarified the nuanced requirements of the D7 program. João handled the rental search and lease paperwork. Communication was clear, timelines were respected. I would absolutely recommend Anchorless to anyone looking to relocate to Europe.

Helping to navigate the D7 process for a family of four
I am in the middle of the process of relocating my family of four to Portugal from Atlanta, GA. After two previous experiences with relocation companies were going nowhere, Anchorless provided that light at the end of the tunnel. They are organized, prepared, punctual, and stay on top of ever-changing requirements. Special praise to Rafaela Silva, the case manager.
Leo Lev, US
Expert guidance and support of our Anchorless team
The expert guidance and support throughout the visa application process was invaluable. We couldn't have gone through our D7 application without the Anchorless team's support. Our case manager Rafaela was supportive, kind and patient. Attorney João Madeira Pinto was our knight in shining armor, getting us a lease agreement in record time. Signing up for their services was the best decision we made.
JM H, US
Invaluable support
We used AnchorLess when applying for our D7 Portuguese visa. We found the process of trying to book a consulate appointment incredibly frustrating, but AnchorLess sorted this for us quickly. Our application was initially rejected, and with the support of an immigration lawyer through AnchorLess, we were able to resubmit and continue the process. Thank you so much for all of your help.
Tina J, UK
Very Satisfied
Overall, I had a very positive experience working with Anchorless on my D7 visa application. My case manager, Rafaela, was highly dedicated and consistently responsive to all of my questions. Along the way, I received valuable support with house-hunting and document preparation, which saved me significant time and effort. I'm truly grateful for the guidance from the Anchorless team.

I Highly Recommend AnchorLess
I connected with AnchorLess after watching one of their webinars. I had researched other Portuguese immigration assistance platforms and even had an in-person meeting with a company in Lisbon - all far more costly than AnchorLess. My experience with Guilherme and Rosa was absolutely great. The Portuguese immigration process is not easy and there were plenty of process potholes along the way. The most valuable aspect of working with AnchorLess was the confidence in knowing that they always had my back.

Magnific D7 experience
A very straightforward process - the documentation review service in particular is very well-thought out and something that I hadn't seen in other platforms. All in all a great experience if you are applying for a D7 Visa, without actually needing to appoint an attorney for the process. I also used their property hunting service for a rental in Cascais, and it worked out very well.
Sandra, PT
D7 Made Easy
Guilherme, Rafaela and Dr. João walked us through the entire D7 process. We cannot imagine doing it without them. Their system and support kept us on track and made the process stress-free.
Anonymous, US
Incredibly responsive team
Incredibly responsive team, always replying to questions or concerns and clearly explaining the process. For anyone embarking on the D7/D8 journey, I highly recommend Anchorless as a partner to navigate the often frustrating path to residency.
