Hey!! I have been watching your videos for a little over a year and have made the move to Portugal around two months ago and settling nicely. We did the D2 visa which is working nicely, similar to D7.

So glad I'm a single retired person with no children. 🤣 Thanks for the info.

I just got approved for my D7 visa through DC, and thank God I did! I don't meet the financial requirements for the remote worker visa. And I just heard that DC just stopped taking mail-ins. So I don't know how I got this lucky, but I'm definitely playing the lottery tonight. :)

this is a great video! love the content y'all have. 👍 I have a particular question: I'm wondering about the letter I need from my employer that documents/verifies that I'm employed - is it just a generic letter with basic info & salary (like the kind you might need to apply for a loan or lease agreement)? OR does the letter specifically need to mention you have the right to work abroad? Is it like a whole process where the Portuguese consulate calls and verifies everything w my employer? Not trying to be shady but I need to know exactly how I'll explain this to HR/my supervisor before hand! 🙏

I am glad that I purchased D7 visa course. I will review the course after Christmas. Kalie and Josh, keep up the good work!!!

You guys delivered!!! This is the BEST, and most comprehensive breakdown of, the new digital Nomad vs D7 visa application options, I have ever seen! And I have watched almost every video regarding this info. You guys are officially the one stop KZfaqrs I would use or recommend, if I only had to choose/recommend one. You're the best. Newsworthy! Excellent job as usual! Thank you!👍🏾❤

Thanks Kalie!!! Great info on the changes. Hope to see you guys in Portugal in the next year

Hi, guys. Thank you for the video. But what about before the digital nomad visa? Do we still need the NIF and Portuguese bank account? Would you still recommend Bordr’s services for those who want the digital nomad visa?

Whew! Thank you for your reply! Thankfully we’re over the minimums by many factors over the 4x…

Thanks for the clear and simple explanation!

Fantastic info! Thank you Kalie!

Take the course! It helped me so much ❤

For an early retiree too young to receive income from retirement accounts or social security, what qualifies as “passive income”? Would having a certain amount of total assets qualify?

Thanks for the great video guys. Did you start the process of renewing your residency after 2 years? Pls post details if you did. Was it easy? What docs did you need to submit? Is online system working well and easy to operate? Thanks a lot as always.

I understand one of the requirements of the D7 is staying at least six continuous months in Portugal each year. Does the new Digital Nomad visa have any stay requirements? And could I utilize the NHR if I used the Digital Nomad visa to acquire residency?

Amazing job guys !

Thanks so much for this video! Is the income amount considered pre-tax or post-tax?

Always great information! Interesting about the ability to apply from country of residence rather than your home country. Does that apply to the D7 visa as well or only the new remote worker visa?

Thanks for the video. It's a much needed update. I've seen that banks are changing their policies and not wanting to open accounts for foreigners who don't have passive income. Do you know if a bank account is still required for the digital nomad visa?

Having grown up in Spain in the sixties and seventies and visiting a number of times over the years I have seen a lot of changes. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the lifestyle. The Spanish live without the sense of urgency that puts Americans into early graves. I am selling off my house and personal property and heading to Spain to live my best life. I am pretty much a native speaker with a vocabulary limited to that of a twelve year old boy.

So I earn passive income well above the required amount. Same with active income, but my active income is not from a company, but on my own. Also is there any difference based on the "1 year lease agreement" contingency? I think that 1 year apartment lease is the most annoying step to doing the D7 visa. It worries me I would lease a place I don't like the location of, or quality of the place I'm living without giving it a good look through.

So am I right in understanding that if you are retiring you still get the D7 at the previous income requirements?

Hey there. We’ve just spent the last three months in Portugal getting everything in order for our D7 appointment on 20 Jan 2023, including NIF numbers, loading up bank accounts, a two year lease on an apartment, and were actually looking at houses because our plan was to apply for citizenship when the time comes. Are you saying that when we show up at VFS that they’re going to say, “Sorry, you’re out of luck?”

Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to mention I work with active income. That’ll switch to passive when we retire, but it’s not time for that yet.

Well you’re discussing our relating to D7 visas for people who are going to work in Portugal, correct? Has anything changed as far as a D7 if you’re retiring over there with sustainable income? Would appreciate your letting me know. Thanks

Good job, Kalie!

i never heard 4x portugal minimum wage for main applicant, is it something new?

Is a year housing contract also required for the remote worker visa? I heard you can apply for it from within Portugal, so at least it might be possible to rent temporarily while getting read to apply, unless I am misinformed?

Looking to apply for Remote Worker Visa with two year temporary residence as I am a 1099. Are the any requirements for length of time spent in Portugal for this option and if so do the days need to be consecutive?

Hi. Please tell me how I can make appointment in Albuferia SEF. I need to change my address

this throws a complete spanner in the works for my future plans -I don't make X4 the minimum wage in active income 🥺

If your income will be from Air BnB in the US, does this qualify for the D7? Same question for Etsy income from the US. Thank you, looking forward to buying whichever course fits my family’s situation.

Do you think a payout wish list is a good way to support the lifestyle? A payout wish list lets you make a wish list and when someone buys you something you receive the money. For instance, if you were to add $20 clothes to your wish list and your viewers buy you the clothes then you receive the full $20.

Can you qualify for the D7 with passive income - but still work (active)? I intended to partially retire...

i have passive and active income which one do I choose?? help?

RIP D7?? Not exactly. Kinda click-baity there, guys.

Is there still a path to Portuguese citizenship on the Digital Nomad Visa like there was on the D7?

Hi! From the time I submit my papers with VSF, in how many days do I come to know of acceptance or rejection? Thanks

Hi! Can you please explain how taxes will work with the two versions of the digital nomad visa? Can I stay as a W2 employee for my US company and not have to use an employer of record? Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand. Does this mean that if you're trying for the D7 visa while still remote working outside the country, this is not allowed now?

We are currently looking into D7 with a Lawyer named Maria on KZfaq. She is legitimate but 5k per family member seems pricey (family of four) Do you see this as far too much or reasonable for a company that has had 100% success rate for thousands of applicants?

My math isn’t the greatest, but are you saying a couple that is working needs to be making $4,230 a month?

Kaylie im passive most of the week except Sunday’s when I’m active. Do I apply for the D7 ? BAhahahaha

Perfect time to upload Video to get views

ATTENTION : The portuguese minimum wage will be going up to €760 euros per month starting January 2023. All new applications submitted now should take that into account. If you are a young family with kids and looking for permanent residency in Portugal leading on to Portuguese citizenship, you are in LUCK! Just the kind of people Portugal is looking for right now, because the population is decreasing and the government needs to reverse that trend by attracting young families to settle here. You'll still need proof of enough income but you'll get approved. Guaranteed! And... speaking basic portuguese and paying your taxes will show further PROOF that you are serious about settling here and contributing to society. A sure thing to KILL OFF your application is when you show you have the money but cannot show proof of having paid any taxes on it where you live... (Portugal already has enough home grown tax dodgers and you won't impress SEF. You've been warned!) There are other (much easier) ways to move & settle in Portugal and get a residency visa: learn portuguese, find a job with a portuguese employer, arrive on a tourist visa and go straight to SEF with your signed employment contract to get a residency visa for the duration of your contract. Renew employment contract and residency visa. If you work & pay taxes for 5 years in Portugal, you can then apply for permanent residency or portuguese citizenship. Speaking good portuguese will definitely help...

This really terrible news!

This D7 Visa its a joke its making life hard as young Portuguese cant even rent a apartment with average salary.... next elections CHEGA will put a stop to this nonsense!🤔
