Yes, the D7 Visa (also known as the Passive Income or Retirement Visa) allows its holders to live and work in Portugal. While originally designed for retirees and individuals with passive income, the residence permit granted under the D7 visa confers full residency rights. This includes the ability to take up employment or self-employment in Portugal. Many holders use it to transition into local job markets, establish businesses, or work remotely. Beyond employment, the D7 Visa also provides access to healthcare, education, and a pathway to permanent residency and citizenship after 5 years.
