Hi.

Whens the best time to start the D2 visa process. We are in the process of selling our property and we both have a bank account and a NIF number. TIA

Hi Phil, Welcome.

After submitting your application on the VFSGlobal website, you will be contacted by a Portuguese consulate in your country UK to hand over your documents. You will then get the D2 visa issued in your passport after a maximum of 60 days.

Then, your D2 Visa allows you to stay for 4 months in Portugal, during which time you must schedule an appointment with AIMA to get a valid Portuguese residency.
