Portugal resident stories
We've helped 70+ happy Portuguese visa holders. Here's what they say:
My family and I know that we’re in good hands with the team at Tejo. They have not only supported two of our applications to the program, but they also helped us find the most beautiful home in Lisbon in the most competitive market.
Fiona
From London · Stayed in Lisbon
My experience is outstanding, there is really nothing I can think of to make it better. In a weird way, I actually enjoyed the process. Thank you to you all.
Hamza
From Saudi Arabia · Stayed in Lisbon
Everyone has been very nice and helpful. The procedure around the investment, forms, and transfers went well overall and we appreciated the support. I'm looking forward to meeting members of the team in person in Lisbon.
Marc

Tejo have been the most helpful resource to our family as they deeply understand all of the nuances of the program and how everything in Portugal works. Their ability to clearly communicate what is needed by when - and condense everything from legal, the government, and the bank has been the best. It would have been a lot harder for us to get through this without them.
Jen
From Colorado · Stayed in Lisbon
I chose Tejo because I felt like the team really understood what I was looking for, and cared about the success of my application.
Tim
From San Francisco · Stayed in Lisbon
As a self employed business owner in the US, I was concerned that my visa application and tax situation would be complicated. Tejo helped me retain my permanent business address and work out a plan so that my significant other and I could work and travel in Europe. 10/10!
Nick
From Los Angeles · Stayed in Lisbon
Having lived in over 50 different places, its safe to say I'm a regular traveler. Tejo makes the process to obtain Portuguese and EU residency simple, and Julian and the team at Tejo are fantastic. I would recommend them to anyone looking to experience a life in Europe.

Just farenough, a distinctly Eurpean destination
Tejo's Team is here to help you return to yourself in Portugal
Tejo supports clients exploring three main residency routes: the D7 Passive Income Visa, the D8 Digital Nomad Visa, and the D9 (Golden Visa) investment residence permit, alongside other options like D2 where appropriate.
What’s the difference between D7, D8 and D9?
D7 – Passive Income / Retirement Visa For retirees and people with stable passive income (pensions, rentals, dividends). No big investment required, but you’re expected to actually live in Portugal most of the year.
D8 – Digital Nomad Visa For remote workers and freelancers earning from outside Portugal, typically at 4× the Portuguese minimum wage or more.
D9 – Golden Visa (Investment Residence Permit) For investors who qualify through a €500,000+ investment, such as regulated funds, with very light physical-presence requirements (often around 7 days a year).
Who is the D7 Passive Income visa for?
The D7 is ideal for retirees, early retirees, and people living on passive income rather than a local job. That includes classic retirees, ex-public-sector workers with pensions, and individuals living off rentals, dividends or business exit proceeds.
Who is the D8 Digital Nomad visa for?
The D8 is aimed at remote workers and freelancers who can prove a stable income from clients or employers outside Portugal and meet the income threshold (usually around 4× the national minimum wage). It’s a fit if you want to keep your current work but change your life backdrop to Portugal.
Who is the D9 Golden Visa For?
The D9, commonly called the Golden Visa, grants residency in exchange for a qualifying investment—today that typically means €500,000 in eligible funds or other non-real-estate routes. Tejo Ventures manages a Golden Visa–eligible clean-energy investment fund and offers a 360-degree service that supports investors from initial inquiry through residency, including documentation guidance and coordination with legal advisors.
Do these visas lead to Portuguese citizenship?
Yes, D7, D8 and D9 all lead to the same endpoint: after five years of legal residency, you can normally apply for Portuguese nationality, subject to language (A2 level) and clean-record requirements.
Recent changes mean that, for many applicants, the 5-year clock now starts from when you first apply for a residence permit, not from when the card is issued, which can effectively shorten your wait.
Tejo can connect you with legal partners who specialize in the citizenship step when you’re ready.
