Minimum income for Portugal D7 visa?
I'm considering applying for the Portugal D7 visa as a retiree with passive income. I need to understand the exact financial requirements to ensure I meet the criteria. Could you please provide details on the minimum passive income threshold required by the Portuguese government for D7 visa applicants, and if there are any additional financial considerations I should be aware of?

The minimum income requirement for the Portugal D7 visa is based on the Portuguese minimum wage, currently around €820/month (2025/2026 figures):
- Main applicant: 100% of minimum wage (~€820/month)
- Spouse/partner: +50% (~€410/month)
- Each dependent child: +30% (~€246/month)
So a family of four would need approximately €1,720/month in provable passive income.
Qualifying income sources include:
- Pensions
- Rental income
- Investment dividends
- Remote work income (with employment contract)
You'll need to show 12 months of bank statements demonstrating consistent income. MIGRS can help you assess eligibility with our free assessment tool.
