The golden visa has already been discontinued in major areas. Also the NHR tax is being discontinued for new foreigners coming in as of 2024 and the taxation here is high.

Hey Dominique, when we were applying for D7, we didn’t need a contract. so we got our visas with hotel bookings. unfortunately, now you can’t do that and you will need a rental agreement 🥲 if you can, go see the apartments before signing a contract because what you see online is not what you get

Hi Yulia, I happened to view this video and would like to ask you some questions if I may. I'm a US citizen live in LA. My fiancee lives in Vancouver. She has the Canadian green card and she is holding China passport. She is not allowed remotely to open an bank account or remotely adding her name to the Portugal bank account of mine. Both of us have not visited Portugal yet. I will be the main applicant and the financial source for her. We both need to file D7 applications separately. We plan to get married in LA this August. In the video you mentioned that you were not allowed remotely open a Portugal bank account, and you also mentioned that a Joint account with your husband when applying for D7 visa. My questions for you : Was your name listed on your husband's Portugal bank account while applying for D7? If yes, how did you add your name onto your husband's bank account ? Could my wife apply for D7 with the Portugal bank account of mine (without her name on the account) by showing that the marriage certification and a letter from me indicating that I will be her financial sponsor ? Your reply would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. I just came across your video and haven’t checked your channel yet. I wish you had provided links to all the websites you’re talking about. It’ll be easier to check for info. I thought that travelling to another country wouldn’t need a visa and passport would be enough. I’ll have to check that. Could you please share the banking information, meaning which bank in Portugal with me? I live in Canada as well. And to get the D7 visa, should we do it while in Canada or can it be done once in Portugal? Any help from you would be appreciated ❤️

Milda, thanks for your comment. 1. the main website for all the information about visas is the consulate website. if you google “Portuguese consulate [your city name]”, you’ll be able to find it 2. passport is enough for travelling but not enough for moving. if you want to move to Portugal, you will need a visa 3. we used Atlantico bank to open an account 4. you need to get an entry visa in Canada and then get your residence permit in Portugal Hope this helped!

Hello Yulia, Do I need the whole 1 year house renting agreement before applying for D7 visa? I am unable to manage a 1 year long booking but Its possible for 4-6 months easily by Airb&b or other common site. Can I not book a house for 4 months initially and then book for rest of the time after arrival to Portugal?

[@ThisisYulia]

Hey Harun, you should ask the consulate in your city this question. Montreal consulate allowed us to do that but now they’re asking for a full 1 year lease 😫

[@sarmi1993]

The money u deposit to Portugal is accessible by u? Like can u withdraw it any time? And how u sent the money there?

[@ThisisYulia]

of course we can access that money. we used Wise for all the transfers: wise.com/invite/u/yuliaz70

How can I request NIF online, I am in Mexico. I'm going to apply D7?

[@oliverchan1143]

Between husband and wife, do they need to apply for D7 separately on their own? or just one of them apply is ok. Thanks.

[@oliverchan1143]

Sorry, saw that you explained this in your video. Thanks.

can you please provide the information about the lawyer ?

You should add Russia's flag also. You are originally from Russia and should not forget Mother Russia, please.

why would there be a Russian flag? that’s not the point of the video 🤔

Hola Yulia! Amazing video and very well presented and structured, bravo for that! Did you guys translate any documents or all of them where sent in English? Thanks in advance and keep the good work! obrigado! :)

hiii. we provided all the documents in English because we were applying from Canada 🙌🏼

Heard they-sef ask for 12-month rental lease/contract. It seems after you have arrived in Portugal with D7 visa only, they asked for rental agreement proof though you had barely a month to comply with in order to get residency permit. Not sure how you got rental (for how many months?). I heard it has become increasingly hard to find those who would rent out long term and even harder for those with pets. Appreciate if you can clarify, or another vlog plz.

[@ThisisYulia]

yes, we only had one month to find an apartment and we found one. we signed a lease for 2 years. the apartments are easy to find but they’re all meh (after Canada lol). also, it’s super easy to find landlords that would rent you an apartment with a small pet. hope that helps!

[@rangamurali7667]

@@ThisisYulia Thank you Yulia! Its encouraging to hear that. Which location you located when you leased, may I know. And was it affordable like max $1500 a month. Heard heating isn’t effective in winter months. Sure another topic, it is. Keep up with your great vlogs, v informative with tips!

[@ThisisYulia]

1500$ isn’t affordable haha. we’re in Principe Real 👌🏼

[@Hdio99]

@@rangamurali7667 I am Portuguese living in Lisbon Area, 1500$ is more than enouph to find an apartment in almost any zone in Portugal, for reference, we Portuguese in general if not buying house people pay from 800€ to 1100€ for like a T2 or even a T3 ( T3 means 3 rooms, it only designates the rooms the other divisions do not count). To pay more than 1100€ people here have to be almost rich no average worker can pay so much for an apartment rental... so I think you have easy ground to live very ok if you have 1500$ for month just to rent....hope it helps my info, anything just ask me, love to help....

Do you know if KZbin income is taxed under Portugal's NHR regime?

[@ThisisYulia]

no idea yet. I'll need to talk about it with an accountant!

[@federicoarguello3264]

Thanks for the video Yulia. The information you shared is super helpful. I’ll also be applying for the D7 visa. Still waiting for the NIF though. Question: how did your husband get to open an account with ActivoBank? I reached out to them asking about opening an account remotely and they said it has to be done in person in Portugal. You mentioned in the video that they didn’t want to open an account for you since you have Russian passport, but they did it for him because he has a Canadian passport. I’m in Canada and I told them I’ll be doing the process from Canada and they still said no… So, knowing how it was done on your guys’ end would be helpful. Thank you!

[@ThisisYulia]

hey Federico, do you have a Canadian passport or you owe a different one? I feel like it always depends on the person you’re talking to. Maybe try reaching out to someone else? Hope that helps and good luck with your D7 process 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@federicoarguello3264]

@@ThisisYulia Hi Yulia. Thanks for replying my comment! Appreciate it 😊 I do not have a Canadian passport but I never mentioned it and they never ask what passport I have. They just said it has to be in-person. So, I guess I'll try asking another person. Would you mind sharing how long it took you guys from sending the required documents to having the account opened with Activo? Just in case they decide that I can actually do it 😆 Thanks!

[@mostafakhattab7933]

one year contract for an apartment is too much, is it something required especially if I didn't decide yet where to stay ??

[@ThisisYulia]

it is required by Portuguese immigration. if you have an apartment contract for less than a year, your residency might be declined. also, it’s your responsibility. if you have no place to stay, you should come in advance and search for apartments 👌🏼

[@reaganb6954]

After the 120 day period, can you go to Schengen area? Or does that count towards the 90 day out of 180 day rule?

[@ThisisYulia]

sorry, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. with residence permit you can be out of country for 3/12 months

[@MrTdacosta]

No, you have to leave the Schengen area meaning you can’t leave Portugal and stay in Italy. You can though leave Portugal and go to one of the British Isles countries because they are not included in the Schengen area.
