D7 Renewal by UKMark
Hi all, Does anyone have any experience of the process for renewing the D7 visa after the first 2(?) years of being in Portugal? Is it a very stringent process or a box-ticking exercise? Are the requirements exactly the same as for the initial D7? ...
Yes, this is part of my concern, you worded it a bit better than I did :) This is why I wondered if the process has exactly the same requirement or is more basic. Mark Read More

Hi, my name is Jo. I'm looking to move to Portugal from the US in the next 3-4 years. I would like to get some suggestions for places along the Silver Coast good for a single female. Towns large enough for social activity, etc. and close to ...
I'm looking at this area as well so am interested in finding somewhere quiet around Caldas where it's possible to survive ok without a car, so as near to train/bus route as possible. Thanks :) Read More
Passive Income Requirement by UKMark

Thanks for this. From reading through the links I think there could be some ambiguity around the terms being used but I think a regular transfer from a savings account where a lump sum is kept would be sufficient. Hope i'm not wrong anyway :) Read More
