The Portugal D2 Visa serves as a pathway to establishing residency in Portugal through one of three entrepreneurial investment options.
Investing in a Business in Portugal Applicants are required to demonstrate one of the following:
No Substantial Investment Required
In contrast to the Golden Visa program, there is no mandatory minimum investment of €350,000. However, it is advisable to initiate your new venture with a minimum capital of €5,000 to enhance the credibility and profitability of your proposed business plan.
The Portugal Entrepreneur Visa Application Process
Start by creating a comprehensive business plan that aligns with your goals.
Collect all the necessary paperwork to support your visa application.
Reach out to the Portuguese Embassy or Consulate in your home country to initiate the application process for a Portugal Visa.

Valid passport
Visa application form (with a minimum validity of 3 months beyond your intended stay)

Valid travel insurance with sufficient medical coverage, including emergency medical assistance and repatriation
Proof of legal status in your current country of residence (if applicable)
Recent criminal record certificates for yourself and dependents aged 16 and above (obtained within the last three months)
Evidence of financial means to support yourself and your family members, including proof of income and savings. This typically includes a full-time annual income, half of that for your spouse, and €2,160 for each child. Please note that Portugal’s minimum salary may vary from year to year but is generally around €7,200.
The visa processing time averages around 180 days, with a decision usually provided within 60 days after submitting your application. However, the duration may vary depending on individual circumstances and discretionary factors of the immigration office.
With years of expertise, EBMS Business can assist you throughout the process, regardless of your current location in the country or region, making your journey smoother and more manageable.
No Language Requirement
When applying for the Portugal D2 Residency Program in Portugal, there is no obligation to speak Portuguese. However, if you plan to apply for citizenship in the future, you will need to pass a basic Portuguese proficiency exam at the A2 Level. Alternatively, you can fulfill this requirement by presenting a diploma or certificate from a language school that demonstrates your language proficiency.
Fast Application Process
Applying for your Portugal D2 Visa and residence can be completed in a remarkably short period of time, typically taking only 4 to 5 months for processing.
Visa-Free Travel within the EU
As a resident of Portugal, you have the privilege of traveling to 26 other European countries for business or leisure purposes without the need for a visa
Bring Your Family
If you meet the requirements for family reunification, you have the opportunity to apply for your family to join you in Portugal. This applies to your spouse and dependent children, as long as you can demonstrate marital and blood relations, as well as the means to provide accommodation and support for them
Applicants are required to provide evidence of the following:
Incorporation of a company within the territory of Portugal.
Registration of the company with the Social Security and Tax Authorities.
*During renewals, proof of company activity such as payments received, invoices, etc., must be presented.
Applicants need to demonstrate one of the following:
Having signed a services contract to engage in a liberal profession, along with a statement from the relevant professional organization, providing evidence of registration (if applicable); or
Being registered as self-employed with the Tax Authorities.
*During renewals, applicants must provide proof of actively pursuing a professional activity, either through a services contract or through green receipts
If you choose to invest, it is advisable to opt for a significant investment, such as opening a shop or restaurant, even though there is no specific minimum amount mentioned in the law.
Incorporating a company will involve monthly expenses, including social security contributions, accounting services, work insurance, taxes on profits, and other costs associated with the specific business sector.
***During the renewal process, applicants must demonstrate that they have made investments in Portugal or engaged in professional activities, either independently or through a company.
Applicants must also provide proof of having a residential address in Portugal. This can be accomplished by purchasing, renting, or borrowing a property, or by obtaining an invitation letter from a legally resident citizen of Portugal, stating their commitment to provide accommodation for the applicant.
After a minimum period of 5 years, applicants have the option to apply for a Permanent Residence Permit. This requires a basic understanding of the Portuguese language, a residential address in Portugal, and a clean criminal record. Alternatively, they can apply for Portuguese citizenship, which has the same requirements as the Permanent Residence Permit, with an additional demonstration of existing connections and ties within the Portuguese community.
The Portugal D2 Visa grants temporary residence for a period of 2 years, which can be renewed for an additional 3 years.
During the validity of the permit, the applicant must maintain a minimum stay of 6 months per year, as well as 6 months in each renewal period, as long as they do not leave the country for more than 6 consecutive months. However, longer absences are allowed for professional, cultural, or personal reasons.
Portugal offers favorable tax regimes and residence permits, making it an appealing choice for those seeking investment opportunities or a new place to call home.
The country boasts excellent free healthcare, with the World Health Organization ranking Portugal’s national health system as the 12th best in the world.
Portugal is consistently ranked as the 3rd safest country globally, providing residents with a secure environment.
The cost of living in Portugal is relatively low compared to many other European destinations, offering affordability and value for money.
