Interview with immigration lawyer Sandra Jardim Fernandes, about digital nomads and moving to Portugal – using the D7 visa.
“What are the main requirements for the D-7 visa they should follow?
– The D-7 visa is the visa that we’ve been working with remote workers. You know that D-7 started as a passive income. And it was promoted like that. So, many people that were working, they thought they couldn’t apply through D-7. Because it was not a passive but an active income. But then we started to work and using the D-7 for active income. Meaning what is important is to prove that there is some savings, as I said. So, at least 1 year of Portuguese minimum salary has to be transferred into a Portuguese bank account. And we need to prove that there is a bank account opened in Portugal.”
“If this kind of people establish a company in Madeira, with the 5% of the corporate tax, employ themselves in this company, they can also get a D-2 visa, as well?
– Yes, it’s the same. So you, as an entrepreneur, which is a D-2, you need to prove that you have a Portuguese company. And even if it’s a company is based in the international business center of Madeira, it’s a Portuguese company. So, it’s exactly the same. So, it’s possible to use and apply as an entrepreneur, yes.”
