hi yulia, so did you go to portugal to find an apartment and then go back to canada with the rental agreement? or did you rent just from seeing the place online? this seems to be a bit of a confusing part of the application process... like go to portugal as a tourist and sign a contract then go back to your home country and wait for maybe months to apply for the d7 while paying for a place in lisbon...? lol

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

What did the Portuguese consulate in Montreal request? And do you know if they accept savings/investments alone or do you need proof of a recurring passive income? Do you feel they are more lenient or more strict than other consulates? Thanks!

hey there! they asked everything from the list on the official website. you need a proof of a recurring passive income, so I’m not sure if savings alone will work. as for the consulate, I don’t know as I only had to deal with the Montreal one (people there were super nice and helpful)

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.

[@tatianaschoenfield9819]

It is nearly impossible to move to Portugal at this time since visas are not being processed. There is a tremendous backlog and there have been demonstrations in major cities in Portugal to increase restrictions on foreigners moving to Portugal. 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 very high. Rents are very high in populated areas and will consume at least 50% of your budget. You haven’t visited Portugal yet??

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

[@JC-jx9bp]

As someone who lives in Portugal, you are CRAZY to leave Canada and live here.

[@ThisisYulia]

haha why?

[@rangamurali7667]

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....

[@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!

[@穷游实录]

Can you talk about the taxation system in Portugal? How do they tax overseas passive income,such as pension,rental income? How expensive do applicants have to pay for medical insurance? Will be appreciated

[@ThisisYulia]

if you have an NHR status, then passive income is not taxed. as for the insurance, we have almost all inclusive one and we pay 110€ for 2 people per month 🌻

@@ThisisYulia what NHR stands for? 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 👌🏼

What are the chances that Canada will tax based on citizenship instead of residency?

[@ThisisYulia]

you pay taxes based on your place of residency not your citizenship, so I doubt it

no idea. now copy this comment and paste it to google.ca 🙂

Doesn't looks like too difficult for who is Canadian to get in Europe starting in Portugal... At least do you speak Portuguese? Even in Canada you have to know English or French to start your process (if you are not a refugee). So, I expected more from a "strict EU country"

[@ThisisYulia]

yeah, it’s super easy for Canadian citizens. I do speak Portuguese but you don’t need it for your visa / residence permit.
