The UK from the US, I have been applying for skilled worker visa work through the NHS but its hard because they will only consider you if no suitable candidate in the area applies :(
I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
I am going to look her up, I have about $81k i want to start with, might be small but it's better than nothing though. Since the 08 crash is playing out again.
We also have a lot immigration to Norway, but here you need proof of own salary approx 250 000 nkr , around 25 000 Euro to be able to apply for a residence visa (othervise only temporay visa) and also pass test in Norwegian Culture and history and language. That is a good way to keep "golddiggers" away from the social security system.
@@AlgorelXbox Not so many refugees coming here now as they need to work for their money after a periode of time. They have the same demands for getting permanent residence, some never gets as refugees is ment as temporary stay and shall return as soon home country is safe.
@@olekristoffersen9298 thank you. A very comprehensive answer. The Norwegian model is way different compared to Sweden's or Denmark's approach. Everything should be structured and focused on integration, not just short-term help. It is a known fact that easy money handed-out breeds more problems
Thanks for your content. It's so helpful. Very sad to say since Brexit I'm now not considered European. For those of us who voted to remain it's a tough pill to swallow even 5 years later.
@@traveleconomics Thank you. I still feel European but its created a huge divide between us now which is really sad. Blame those brits that think they are better than everyone else. It'll backfire on us one day. It's not fair on us that saw the bond between the EU and UK as a powerful one. I've been researching and the D7 visa looks very promising for me and I'm going to leave the UK for good next year! Thanks again for your videos
@@saxonmckenzie9260 yes don't let politics stop your plans. The D7 is a good option and there are many good options in many other EU countries for Brits to reside.
From what I have read and heard the D7 visa is not that easy to obtain for US citizens. Many have stated that the bureaucracy in Portugal will keep applicants in limbo for a very long time. Often the applicants will be told they need more documentation or the documentation they have is inaccurate causing people to have to travel back and forth between the USA and Portugal.
Also if your child is born in portugal and you have a resident permit automatically becomes portuguese. And children of illgeal migrants after 1 year of living here the children are automatically portuguese
Some countries it is cheap, and some not so cheap. In Portugal, private health care is very reasonable. I lived there for a year and my family of three paid less than 100 euros a month.
@@MrMaziar58 this calculation is based on the Portuguese current minimum salary. If you don't have to pay rent and live in a smaller town, it is possible to live with this amount.
Thank you for the video, very informative! For the D7 visa, can I simply show proof of funds for 7,980 Euros in a bank account (665 Euros per month for a year), or do I have to show that I am actively getting paid through a particular source of income? Thanks in advance!
@@theviewfinder1652 Sure. He said that you must show that you frequently receive money from retirement, dividends or rent. Simply having 7,980 Euros in the bank alone does not guarantee anything.
Excellent video. I am a retired English teacher (EdD) in Ukraine now. However, we are now looking at moving to different countries that offer non-lucrative Visas. We might sell our home in Portland, Oregon. What American-friendly countries would you recommend?
Great video. Do I have to stay in Portugal the entire year, or can I live a couple of months in other EU countries as long as I maintain my Portuguese residence?
@@МихаилНовиков-ь2т It is a very good question. If you keep your stay in the Schengen area, the government cannot know if you are in Portugal or Spain or France for example. But you can prove it by paying utility bills, keeping your address, subscription fees like a gym, phone, etc, having a car. You can also prove it, if requested, showing your card expenses, every POS purchase has a location.
Also if your child is born in portugal and you have a resident permit automatically becomes portuguese. And children of illgeal migrants after 1 year of living here the children are automatically portuguese
The only issue I see with the D7 Visa is the wording in which it states (PASSIVE Income) like USA Social Security, Stock Dividends, etc. So my best understanding is that if you own a Business that has Revenue higher than the required amount, it doesn't count as that isn't Passive Income.
It depends on your role in the business. If you have a passive role and receive dividends, it is still ok. If you actively manage it, then the D7 is not the best option. But if you actively manage the business there are other options available to reside in Portugal.
Anyone born in portugal to a legal resident parent automatically becomes portuguese. Anyone born in portugal to an illegal migrant living here for more than 1 year automatically becomes portuguese.
Very informative video, thank you . . . Have a question, I'm currently living in a country in South America, and if a company offers me a job, a working permit and staying permit In Europe, do i still need a visa? And if so, how do i proceed in getting a visa? Thank you . . .
Depends on your country of citizenship and the country where the company is inviting you in. For ex if you have an Argentinian passport and found a job in Estonia, you can travel directly to Estonia and get a residence permit right away. If you have a Bolivian passport and got a job in Spain, you need to apply for a D visa in Bolivia, get the visa, travel to Spain with this visa and get a residence permit.
Also if your child is born in portugal and you have a resident permit automatically becomes portuguese. And children of illgeal migrants after 1 year of living here the children are automatically portuguese
Is it only limited to Portugal, or also applied to Germany, NL, Sweden, or Spain which are more familiar and atleast i know some of Spanish or German vocabulary words than Portuguese. Or English-only is enough in Portugal? Thanks
Thank you for information. The hardest part is to apply for the visa from my home country. We don't have Portugal Embassy here and the info and requirement for this visa is not provided clearly in any form.
@@traveleconomics Yes. We only have Portugal's honor consulate here. I know this type of visa for a while but cannot find any information in consulate's website. I email them but was guided to contact Embassy in Thailand to get more information. And don't get any reply from Embassy in Thailand when I call or email.
@@HuyVu-vi4ut you have to apply through the embassy in Bangkok indeed. Either that or you can also try to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but I am pretty sure they will forward you to the Embassy in BKK.
@@traveleconomics Yes, thank you. I'm not sure I can apply through Germany Embassy (via VFS Global) or not. I have to hear from Embassy in Thailand first.
If you have a high demand skill (EU blue card applicants) you don't need to know the language. Regardless of that you should definitely learn the language of any country you are moving to, otherwise communication and opportunities are rather limited on a daily basis.
@@traveleconomics only if you work in IT you maybe don’t need it and only for the job. For interpersonal communication and everything else you need to speak the local language or you are out (obviously, if you don’t work in specialized IT, you won’t get far with English)
@@traveleconomics forget it to work in jobs like legal or sales (well paid jobs that require high specialization) because if you are not mother language or nearly mother language, you are already out of the industry
@@digreziapartners2148 Legal is definitely the most difficult. Because not only the language but you also need a diploma from that specific country, so it is a much bigger problem than just knowing the language. In most cases a lawyer graduated in a given country will not be able to work in another country, even if he knows the languages. The laws are complex and full of specificity to the country where they are enforced. Sales, project management, many companies use English at the office, even if they are in a non-English speaking country. English is taking over the corporate world.
Portugal D7 visa requires you to pay tax on ALL you income around the world ! And requires you to stay over 183 days in a year so Portugal can tax you in full.
Hi, thanks for valuable info! Once I proof this monthly income for 1 year (around 8000€) will they take my money and save in a Portuguese bank account? And I wouldn't be able to use this? Or I can spend this money once I get the residency? Thanks!
Having 8k eur is not enough. You have to show to the authorities that you have recurring passive income landing into your account every month (pension, dividends, remote work). If you just have 8k saved it is not enough to get your d7 approved.
Also if your child is born in portugal and you have a resident permit automatically becomes portuguese. And children of illgeal migrants after 1 year of living here the children are automatically portuguese
Thanks for the info but this video should be updated for 2022-23. As of these days you must prove your personal income for the last half a year in the range of Euro 820-900 per months and still usually it doesn't go as smooth as described
The minimum is based on the Portuguese minimum salary, so it usually changes every year. And yes, if all you have is this income, there is no guarantee of approval.
Nice easy to understand info on D7 Visa. Can you make a video on th Tax implications living in Portugal on a D7 visa. As an example is all of my income overseas is taxable in Portugal?
I will make a video on the D7 visa. Broadly speaking if you get the D7 you are entitled to the Non Habitual Resident program, which does have tax advantages. But it depends on the type of income, some income are tax exempt (like dividends) and some aren't (like foreign pensions). The tax benefits of Portugal NHR program are becoming less appealing over the years.
@@traveleconomics Thanks for your prompt response. I am a US citizen and have no intention of working. Just want to retire with a proof of income far more than minmums required. Being in western Europe opens up easy travel within Europe which i want to see during my retirement.
Hello sir, I have been watching nearly all of your videos with amazing info. I live in Turkey with a Turkish residency. I want to move to Luxembourg how will you assist me with further information and requirements.
Hello, really informative video. Just want to know do run a private consultancy too, if someone want to get their visa sorted how can we contact you.? Thanks
Also if your child is born in portugal and you have a resident permit automatically becomes portuguese. And children of illgeal migrants after 1 year of living here the children are automatically portuguese

Do you guys know of any lawyer in the USA who can assist me with all the documents to apply for the D7 Visa to Portugal? I would prefer to do the paper work with a U.S. lawyer who has experience in this process than a foreign lawyer. Thank you.
Not really. You need someone in Portugal to do the NIF. Even if you get a lawyer in the US, the lawyer will have a lawyer in Portugal, or pay some service for the NIF, so you will be charged way more than if you just have one person assisting you (or doing it yourself).
So once i get the D7 visa, enter Portugal, do i need to wait until i get residence (5 years?) before allowing to work ,let's say, in Netherlands? Basically how long do i need to stay in Portugal before being able to try to work in other EU countries ?
You get the D7, go to Portugal, go to SEF and in a couple of months you get TEMPORARY residency. After 5 years you get permanent residency and only then, you can move to other EU countries. Temporary residency does not allow you to work in any other country in the EU.
@@Healing_Decibels No, you have to stay within Portugal for those five years. I believe there's a minimum amount of time you are allowed to leave the country before it's not counted as five consecutive years in the country.
Is English common in Europe? I would learn a second language if I moved but I would absolutely need to be able to communicate for the first year or so while learning.
You would be just fine in any European mid-sized city or any large city. If you go to a village in France or Hungary then it would be a problem not speaking English.
Actually, from what I heard you may be fine working remotely being paid in your country of origin , and then again you may not. Check it lit for your self. I hope I’m wrong.
Working remotly doesnot works with this visa, if you have income from proprierties rented abroad is it possible. Otherwise as working remotly or any other entrepreneour visa, visa D2 are appropiate.
@@traveleconomics Yes, you are true, the visa D7 its for retire people and wos are income holders, but the law do not specify with kind of income, and this open a path way for many different possibilities. Among this possibilities are digital nomands, also specialy now due pandemy time, they wants stay in a cheap country for long time. At main time its possibility for criminal people make they money laudering buy and sell propierties. So whoever wants to benefit from this type of single visa throughout Europe, has to hurry. For these details something will probably be changed soon.
can I give my parents bank statement for my Visa to get accepted,If so . Do I have to also show that when I arrive in Portugal or do they need to see my bank statement after arriving their. How does that work at all?
If I want to get D7 visa and take my family with me, can we get visa for all of us at the same time? Or should I go first and then apply for family reunification?
Anyone born in portugal to a legal resident parent automatically becomes portuguese. Anyone born in portugal to an illegal migrant living here for more than 1 year automatically becomes portuguese.
If you meet the financial requirements, it is certainly easier. As you are from Lebanon you probably speak French, which is somewhat similar to Portuguese, definitely an advantage.
I'm 53 I'm an HR Professional in my country my 13-year-old daughter and I are trying to migrate by sponsorship but it's not working we live in Trinidad and are trying to move to england
Nice video! Currently I am living in UK and working here. Can you please tell me do I need to stay in Portugal or can I stay in UK and renew yearly until settlement? Another thing, can I show my UK bank statement solvency? Thank you.
Depends on so many things. What visa you will apply, how long you want to still in the UK per year. I suggest you book a consultation with me or with someone else.
the cost of applying for a D7 visa is negligible. You have to show you have enough funds and income though. The very minimum for one person as of 2021 is roughly 7.5k EUR in a bank account plus a monthly net income of at least 665 euros.
I am from Bangladesh. Recent I got Finnish recidence card. Now I want go to Denmark first to stay for 3 days then i will go Finland. Will Denmark immigration make any problem to enter Denmark?
You have to show that the money is arriving in your account every month. It is not a lump sum thing. However, the higher the amount of savings, the higher chances you will have to get approved.
You forgot to mention the fact that you must have the total amount ( of 635 x 12) in your bank account, more is recommended. And, you must prove a recurring monthly income of 635 plus. Having the total amount in savings is not getting approved, they are getting strict with D7 visa.
Hi, can you please confirm me one thing? If I buy a house in Portugal now, and receive rentaI income from it, will it help me in case I wish to apply for a D7 visa in future, say, 5 years later? I mean, can I include the rental income generated in Portugal as my passive income for D7? Or the passive income should be from outside of Portugal, for D7? If you kindly clarify this, I'd be really grateful.
Also for children. Anyone born in Portugal to legal resident automatically becomes portuguese. Anyone born in portugal to an illegal migrant for more than 1 year automatically becomes portuguese. So easy. Parents then get resident permits through the children
If you find a company willing to sponsor you yes. If you have enough funds to support yourself you can also become a freelancer and get a visa, but you need quite much funds for that to work.
It depends on your individual situation. If you are applying alone or with family members, how many family members, what type of income it is, where you are from, etc.

Dear, I am British and want to get a Portuguese residency. Now after Brexit I am told that if I come to Portugal and arrange NIF, Junta, Social, Bank account, and job contract I can apply for a 5-year residency certificate from Camara/ municipal if I pay tax for 2-3 months. Is this correct? Can you kindly find out for me and help. Thanks
If you find a job and they provide you with a contract you will be able to change your short term stay to a temporary residence permit in Portugal. This is not permanent residence though, UK citizens are now treated as third country nationals which are visa exempt in Portugal for stays up to 90 days in 180. If you want to go with the D7 or Golden visa, you need to apply for it from inside the UK.
Unfortunately it’s not that easy for Indians and Pakistanis to migrate to Europe. It would help to have a passport of a more “favorable” country. If it was that easy, half a billion Indians would be in Portugal right now. And maybe 100 million Pakistanis.
It depends, generally yes. You need to meet the minimum threshold in terms of net income. Only the embassy/consulate can decide if your application and income is sufficient.
Greeting. I am from Serbia (not a member of the European Union) and I want to move to Sweden. To get a work permit I have to have a certificate that I have a job there. Do you know any way to get a job there? And do you know if there is any visa other than a work visa that would allow me to live and work there? thanks in advance.
You would need to find a company that will sponsor you. I don't know where you can find one. Alternatively if your spouse is an EU citizen you have the right to work and live there and long as she is living there with you. Pozdrav.
if that's all you have as a proof of income, and no recurring payments from dividends, rentals or other comparable passive income, it is very unlikely that only that will be enough.
D7 is not for people whose main goal is to find work. It is aimed at people living from passive investments. But you have the right to work with the D7.
Hello. Am trying to move to Germany but my agent said Germany visa won’t be easy. He said he can help me with Czech Republic d7 visa. I can just land at Czech Republic and move to Germany the following day. Is it true?
Germany is harder than Czech Republic, that is true. If you have a long term visa to apply for a residence permit in CZ you can only apply for the residence permit in CZ.
Thanks for your useful information! This's my favorite destination! Can you explain about the requirement: proof of a place to live in Portugal? Can I rent it, or have to buy a house / apartment? Do you have any advice about where to buy cheap real estate in Portugal?
Anyone born in portugal to a legal resident parent automatically becomes portuguese. Anyone born in portugal to an illegal migrant living here for more than 1 year automatically becomes portuguese.
It depends. Twelve times the minimum salary in Portugal per year for the main applicant + twelve times half of the minimum salary for a spouse, and a bit less than twelve times the minimum salary per child.
