Portugal offers several visa options for those looking to relocate from France. Before applying for any visa, you'll need to obtain two essential items:

Here are the main visa types available from France:

  • D1 Work Visa: Designed for those who have secured a work contract with a Portuguese company. You'll need to provide your employment contract, criminal record, and proof of accommodation. This visa is initially valid for 4 months and can be converted into a 2-year residence permit.
  • D2 Entrepreneur Visa: For individuals planning to start a business or transfer an existing one to Portugal. You must present a viable business plan and demonstrate sufficient financial means. The investment amount varies based on the business type and location.
  • D3 Highly Qualified Worker Visa: Targeted at professionals with specialized skills or higher education. You must have a job offer in Portugal that matches your qualifications and meets minimum salary requirements.
  • D4 Study Visa: For students accepted into Portuguese educational institutions. You need acceptance letters, proof of financial means, and health insurance. This visa allows you to study and work part-time.
  • D5 Research Visa: Specifically for researchers and scientists working with recognized Portuguese institutions. You'll need a hosting agreement from a research institution and proof of qualifications.
  • D6 Family Reunification Visa: Allows family members to join relatives already legally residing in Portugal. You must prove family relationships and demonstrate that the resident family member can support you.
  • D7 Passive Income Visa: Popular among retirees and digital nomads. You need to show stable passive income from sources like investments, pensions, or rental properties.
  • D8 Digital Nomad Visa: A recent addition for remote workers earning income from non-Portuguese sources. You must demonstrate a stable monthly income and proof of remote work arrangements.
  • D9 Golden Visa: An investment-based residence permit requiring significant capital investment in Portuguese real estate, business, or other qualifying investments. The minimum investment varies by type and location, starting from 250,000€.

The application process typically involves submitting documents through the Portuguese consulate in your home country if you are not from France.
