Movingto's D7 professional fee starts from EUR 1,760. You receive a written quote based on your application and family scope. Government fees, translations, insurance and other third-party charges are separate unless expressly included in that quote.

Bring a short overview of your income sources, where you currently live, who is moving with you and your intended timing. Tell us about any existing application or document concerns. You do not need a completed application file to have the first conversation.

The D7 can suit applicants with stable, documented passive income who intend to live in Portugal. In 2026 the floor is EUR 920 a month for the main applicant, 100% of the minimum wage under the MNE means-of-subsistence rule for national visas. We review the source, regularity and evidence of your income against your household needs and the current checklist at the consular post handling your application. Savings and recurring income need to be assessed separately.

If your main qualifying income comes from active remote employment or freelance work, the D8 route may be more appropriate. We compare your actual income and work arrangements before recommending an application route.

Yes. We review the family relationships, dependency evidence, income coverage, accommodation and timing before planning the applications. Eligibility and sequencing depend on your circumstances and the applicable process.

Timing depends on document readiness, the consular post, appointment availability and the later AIMA residence stage. We map the steps and dependencies at the outset and track progress throughout the agreed engagement. Movingto cannot guarantee a decision date or approval.

Movingto's in-house tax counsel advises on Portuguese and cross-border tax; your written engagement states whether that advice is included. Property searches, shipping and school selection are separate services unless expressly included in your engagement.
