Unlike many residency programs that require significant investments in real estate or businesses, the D7 Visa is accessible to retirees with modest passive incomes. The financial requirements include proving a monthly income equivalent to Portugal’s minimum wage, which is approximately €760 per month for a single applicant (as of 2025). This income can come from pensions, rental properties, dividends, or other stable sources, making it an affordable option for retirees from around the world.
