In 2007, the Portuguese government created a special visa called the D7 Visa, also known as the Retirement Visa or Passive Income Visa. This visa lets people from outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland apply to live in Portugal, as long as they have a steady passive income.

The D7 visa is a good option for people who want to move to Portugal from outside the EU. It allows them to become residents if they can prove they have enough money to support themselves while they live in Portugal.
