Passive Income Requirement by UKMark
Hi, I posted this a few days ago but didn't get a response. I would really appreciate to hear from anyone who managed to get the D7 visa with a lump sum rather than a regular passive income. This is the situation i'm in and can't find ...
I did both. I also got a signed letter from my accountant showing my assets. Seemed to do the trick. Make sure you have a Portuguese bank account and NIF. Can be got online. Read More

Just to say, what sort of lump sum is it? If it's a large amount why not invest in a buy to let property which would give you a passive income and an asset you can sell later if you want to. Read More

Ideally you need a passive income. You could feed passive income from a savings account which would do the same thing... Read More

Hey, I am planning to apply soon for the D7 visa in Portugal. I read that after I get the first Visa from the Portuguese embassy I need to travel to Portugal in order to give the biometrics, submit the original documents, and do an interview with ...
Yes. I'm still waiting though... Read More
Fiscal Representation by mikem1
Hi, My name is Mike and 12 years ago we bought a plot of land in Portugal and built a holiday home on it. As part of the buying process our then lawyer told us we needed to have NIfs which we acquired via our lawyer. We don't rent our holiday ...
You can get one here and they will act as your fiscal representative. Good luck! Read More

I just did my interview last week. I went to VSF Global then they sent us to the consulate. At VSF they took photos and finger prints. We waited a while to go in at the consulate and then they asked me why I was going there and about my family and ... Read More
Is D7 visa right for me? by Isa Al
Hey, I am 24 years old and I am a fresh graduate and I am interested to move to Portugal to live and work but I am wondering if the D7 is the right choice for me. 1-I don’t have a passive income as I don’t work yet, but my family can ...
I think with a 100k in your bank you would be fine for a D7. I would put it in a Portuguese bank which can be opened remotely (for example Atlantico). You can also get a NIF online (just google it). Read More
Need a contacts team by jkmet
Hi, My wife and I are serious about relocating to the Algarve to start an independent, Doctor-oriented Audiology business. We need a contact team to help us with all of the details; everything from selecting and checking availability of business ...
I think you might be better posting on another site for this, maybe a business or entrepreneur site. Or you could try the Portugal subreddit on Reddit, lots of local people there who may be able to help you. Read More
NHR and UK dividend tax by hazmog
I read this article which seemed to say as a company director I would end up paying little to no tax on my income which is largely dividends based, meaning the move to Portugal would save us money. I then spoke to my accountant and he says I would ...
Awesome, cheers everyone. I'll check that book out too. Read More

Also, just to say again, thank you. I've really struggled to find this information anywhere else in a way that my non accountant brain can understand. Read More

My plan is to fly back once a month for that kind of stuff. So if I am a tax resident in Portugal, I would not pay UK tax? Read More

Thanks for this. I have no plans of making it a Portuguese company. Whilst I'm a director, the vast majority of work is done without me now. In the UK you get 12k of salary tax free then dividends at 7.5%. Are you saying if all of my income ... Read More

Thank you for the reply Tony. You seem to know about this stuff. Would article 15 mean effectively I would not pay UK tax at all if I live in Portugal the vast majority of the time? If so, how would a base salary and dividends be taxed? I spoke ... Read More
Travel right now with Visa and lockdown by hazmog
Has anyone struggled to get flights from the UK to Portugal with a national visa? I phoned VSF Global and they said it's fine, but it would be good to hear from others that have or haven't flown recently.
