Visto D7

visto de residência para titulares de rendimentos próprios
A visa for those who live on their own income that does not come from work in Portugal: a pension, rental income, dividends, interest. You apply for it at a Portuguese consulate before the move, and once in the country you use it to obtain a residence permit card. The consulate looks at how regular the income is, accommodation in Portugal and health insurance.
Where you come across it. The Portuguese consulate in the country where you live now, before the move.
People confuse D7 with the “golden visa” (ARI): here you need income, not investment. Nor is it the D8 for remote workers.
