D7 (Passive Income / Retirement)— income requirement, rules & eligibility.
Income requirement
Portugal's D7 (Passive Income / Retirement) is not fixed in law — consulates apply about €920/month (≈$994/month) in practice, so treat it as a working benchmark, not a legal minimum. Income must be passive (pensions, rent, dividends) — not remote employment. Consular practice figure, not a statutory minimum (source: AIMA — Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (figure indexed to national minimum wage), checked 2026-06-25).

No. The D7 (Passive Income / Retirement) requires passive income — pensions, rental income, dividends or annuities — not salary from remote employment. Income must be genuinely passive (pension, rental, dividends). Remote employment routes to the D8 digital-nomad visa instead. The threshold moves with the minimum wage each year.
