Overview
VPA advises individuals and families relocating to Portugal on every residency and immigration route: the Golden Visa (ARI) investment residency, the D7 visa for those living on passive income, and the D8 digital nomad visa for remote workers, as well as family reunification and Portuguese citizenship by naturalisation. As a Lisbon law firm registered with the Portuguese Bar, with a second office in Rio de Janeiro, we handle the full legal process end to end: eligibility assessment, document preparation, submission and follow-up with the authorities, renewals, and the path to permanent residence and citizenship. Whether you are an investor, a retiree, a remote professional or a family moving to Portugal, we make the immigration process clear and secure.
Frequently asked questions
Which Portugal visa is right for me: Golden Visa, D7 or D8?
It depends on your situation: the Golden Visa (ARI) suits investors, the D7 suits those living on passive income (pensions, dividends, rent), and the D8 digital nomad visa suits remote workers earning from outside Portugal. We assess your profile and recommend the safest route.
Can you handle the whole process if I live abroad?
Yes. With a power of attorney we can obtain your NIF and manage the application, submissions and follow-up remotely, so you only travel when strictly necessary.
Does the Golden Visa still allow real estate investment?
The real estate route was removed in 2023. The most common route today is investment in regulated funds; we advise on the current eligible options and carry out independent due diligence.
Does residency lead to Portuguese citizenship?
After maintaining legal residency for the period required by law you may apply for citizenship by naturalisation, subject to the requirements. We guide you through each stage.
