Portugal’s D7 is a passive-income residence route for pensions, dividends, rentals and similar streams — not typical salaried remote employment. NomadIndex lists ~€920/mo (one times the Portuguese minimum wage in 2026), ~60–90 day processing, 2-year renewable stay and family inclusion flagged. Remote workers usually belong on /visas/portugal-digital-nomad instead.
From the United States: prove passive income in the form your consulate accepts. Do not use D7 as a workaround for W-2 remote employment — that intent usually belongs on the digital nomad page.
Searches for “portugal d7 income requirements” and “Portugal D7 visa” need a clear passive-income frame and a DN vs D7 split. This page summarizes NomadIndex D7 fields with USD planning context for US applicants.
