The D8 (digital nomad) and D7 (passive income) routes, minus the confusion — including the honest tax picture now that NHR is closed.
No forums, no guesswork, no €1,500 lawyer consult just to learn you don't qualify yet.
Income, how you earn it, savings, insurance. Two minutes, no account.
Whether the D8 or D7 fits, what's blocking you, the real tax picture, and the best application route.
Apply confidently yourself, or get the done-with-you audit to strengthen your application.

NHR is closed and IFICI excludes most nomads. We tell you the truth — many sites still sell a tax break that's gone.
€3,680/mo for the D8, €920/mo passive for the D7 — we tell you which path actually fits your income.
The headline 2026 requirements — our free tool checks all of them against your situation.
The free check tells you which route fits, what's blocking you, and the real tax picture. No email, no lawyer calling you.
Check my eligibility — freeA Portugal immigration lawyer charges €1,500–€3,000 before you even know if you qualify. We flip that.
The D8 (digital nomad) is for active remote work for non-Portuguese companies/clients and needs ~€3,680/month (4× the minimum wage). The D7 is for passive income — pension, dividends, rent, investments — and needs only ~€920/month. If your income is passive, the D7's bar is far lower.
No. NHR is permanently closed to new applicants. Its replacement, IFICI, gives a 20% flat rate but only for specific tech/research/R&D roles — generic D8 remote workers and D7 pensioners usually don't qualify and pay standard Portuguese rates (up to 48%). We flag this honestly; many sites still advertise NHR. Get a Portuguese tax advisor.
You get a 4-month entry visa from a consulate, then convert to a 2-year residence permit with AIMA (then 3-year renewals). Be realistic: AIMA biometric appointments and processing currently run several months due to a backlog.
No. Wandrize is an independent readiness guide built on AIMA and Portuguese consular rules — not legal or tax advice. Income figures adjust yearly and consular practice varies, so always confirm with the consulate or a licensed adviser. (In the UK and Australia we show general information only.)
