Now I am sharing my entire application with you so that you can see what a successful application looks like and get a head start on your D7 application.

@@zathkal4004 Hi!, I haven't done it myself, but from reading blogs and watching videos from other people, there are two ways: pay a relocation service to open the account for you. I don't know how much it costs, but I remember I read somewhere it costs 150 (USD or euros Im not sure). The second way is going to a bank in your country that has services in Portugal and ask them to open an account for you. It seems people from Brazil might be able to pull this off. The third way I just discovered yesterday is Atlantico: a service that allows you to open an account online. Again, I haven´t tried it yet, so be careful: www.atlantico.eu/particulares

Hi Julia - I just found your channel yesterday. Thank you for all the information! However - I think you missed one or two points - 1. You listed opening a Bank Account in Portugal before you mentioned getting an NIF. You need the NIF first, to open the Bank Account. 2. You said the FBI Background Check has to be Apostilled. I have been told by several people - DO NOT OPEN THE FBI REPORT. If you DO - THEN it would have to be Apostilled. I'm just beginning the process of gathering materials for the D7. I intended to do it a couple of years ago - then COVID put my plans on hold. Hope to be able to move to Portugal this year. I will look for more of your Videos!

Hi Zurs, thanks for the question! I didn’t move as a family, but what I understand is that you could apply for the D7 visa for you. Once approved and after gaining the temporary residence permit, your family could apply for family reunification visas. I recommend the Americans & FriendsPT Facebook group for learning more about this. There are at least a few families on there that moved to Portugal. Yes, you can run your business through Portugal. I have a friend who did this.

I think it's very easy for you to get d7 visa because you are United states citizen.

Hey Julia! Thank you so much for this informative video! Like you, I plan to first apply for my NIF and open my portuguese bank account. I don't have passive income or investments, however I do have a lot of savings. I plan to put roughly 20-25k euros in the portuguese bank account in the next few months ( I also want to show consistency in the deposits) Would that be sufficient enough? or will I be still required to hold some sort of remote job?

I opened it in Portugal. If you want to open it remotely, try Atlantico or a professional service like bordr. Check the video description for a link

Thanks Julia for the video, it's very helpful. Does it have to be a monthly income or pension? or can I just deposit that 8k Euro or higher in my bank account as a proof of funds?? I'm a stock trader and don't actually have a contracted paid job! Thanks again

I wish she had answered because I have the same question about the 8euro. Is that all that’s needed for the year 🤷🏽‍♀️

You should be approved with this. Double check with your Portuguese consulate what their requirements are because unfortunately the answer to this varies

Hello Julia! Thank you so much for your super helpful videos! MY family and I are planning to relocate from CA to Portugal, and I was wondering if you happen to know the answers to a couple of questions I have about the immigration/application process... do you know... 1) does the 120 days given for applying for the TRP begin from the date that you enter Portugal or from the date that the visa window (stamped in the passport) begins? Also, 2) I had some confusion about what to list for intended dates for arriving and then departing the country...as our intention is to stay in Portugal. Do you know of anyone who has listed their intended date to enter the country as far out as 6 months to a year out the date of submitting their application (e.g., if we had our appointment this month I would want to put our intended date of entry 6 months to 1 year out to give my family and I enough time to organize. And 2(b:) wondering what to put for intended date of departure when our intention is to apply for temporary permanent residency and stay indefinitely...? :) Thanks for any tips and I know these may be tough questions so no pressure if you don't know...big thanks though!!

Hi Erin! You’re absolutely welcome. 1) the date of the visa (which is the date you indicate on your application) 2) I believe you can only apply within a few months of your intended arrival date. I can’t find where I may have read this, but it makes sense because all your documents have to be current and things change a lot even in six months. The date of intended departure is 120 days after whatever date you put for intended arrival.
