    Portugal D2 Visa Benefits

    The Reward of Building Your Own Path

    Legal EU Residency in 8 Months

    Portugal Homes takes care of everything you need to apply for the D2 Visa. Our personalised approach and process lets you have Portuguese and EU residency in 8 months.

    Visa-Free Travel

    Portuguese D2 Visa residents are allowed to travel visa-free across the 29 European countries in the Schengen Zone.

    Optional Family Inclusion

    Depending on how your application is structured, and what your plans are, you may include certain family members with your D2 Visa and grant them the same residency rights.

    Flexible Stay Requirements

    The D2 Visa's stay requirements aren't as strict as you may think, allowing for flexibility when it comes to spending time in Portugal.

    Access to the Wider EU Business Markets

    With your business in Portugal, you can easily trade and operate in other European countries thanks to the single EU market.

    Pathway to EU Citizenship

    After meeting eligibility criteria, you may choose to apply for Portuguese citizenship after 5 years, automatically giving you EU Citizenship and passport.
