Bank Statement for the Portugal D7 Visa

Portugal's D7 visa requires proof of regular passive income — pensions, dividends, rent, or royalties — and bank statements are the primary evidence consulates review. Applicants typically submit 6 to 12 months of statements plus proof of savings in a Portuguese bank account. This guide covers how to organize both for a clean application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many months of bank statements does the D7 visa require?

Most Portuguese consulates ask for 6 months of statements, though 12 months strengthens the application by showing a full year of stable passive income.

How much income do I need for the Portugal D7 visa?

The threshold is indexed to the Portuguese minimum wage and adjusts each year. Check the current figure with your consulate — showing 20 to 30 percent above the minimum is a common safety margin.

Do I need a Portuguese bank account before applying?

Yes. Consulates expect savings deposited in a Portuguese account in your name. Traditional banks are preferred — most consulates do not accept e-money accounts as a substitute.

Can I combine pension and rental income for the D7?

Yes. Any combination of stable passive income counts, as long as your statements clearly document each recurring deposit source.
