Is a happier and healthier life in Portugal still on your radar? Lisbon lawyer Dr. Sandra Gomes Pinto explains the D7 and D8 visas in 2026: who each one is for, the income you need, the full D7 document checklist, and how to get through VFS and AIMA. 👉 Planning your move? Talk to our team: https://www.sandragomespinto.com/contact This is "your webinar": Dr. Sandra answers the questions our viewers send in, from 12-month leases and FBI checks to family applications, health insurance, NHR 2.0 and selling your home before you move. In this webinar, hosted by SGP - Sandra Gomes Pinto & Associados, she walks through the D7 process step by step, explains the small details that make applications fail, and shares what SGP is seeing on the ground with VFS appointments in the Washington jurisdiction and with AIMA in 2026. "Portugal I think it's still a very very attractive and welcoming country for foreigners." – Dr. Sandra Gomes Pinto ⚠️ Update: Portugal's new nationality law entered into force in May 2026. For the current rules, watch our 2026 videos on the new citizenship law. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✔ D7 vs. D8: passive income vs. remote work, and why the D8 is not only for "digital nomads" ✔ Income requirements in 2026: €920 a month for the D7, €3,680 for the D8, plus family members ✔ The D7 document checklist, from travel insurance to the personal statement ✔ Timing your FBI background check so it isn't too old at the appointment ✔ Proof of accommodation: leases, landlords and avoiding scams ✔ From visa stamp to AIMA appointment to residence card, and what to bring ✔ Health care: the SNS plus private insurance, even with pre-existing conditions ✔ Taxes: NHR 2.0, tax residency and selling a US home QUICK ANSWERS FROM THE WEBINAR • Can my spouse and children apply at the same time? Yes. For the last few years the whole family can apply together. • How recent must my FBI check be? We advise one issued within 80 days of the appointment. Consulates increasingly reject older ones. • My visa expires before my AIMA appointment. Am I illegal? Generally no. The authorities know about the delays, but be careful about travelling outside Portugal. • When should I sell my home in the US? Ideally before you become a Portuguese tax resident.
