Which visa do I need to live in Portugal?

MNE · AIMA · Moving to Portugal

• It depends on your purpose: there are work visas, study visas, job‑search visas, visas for people living on their own income (D7), digital nomad visas, family reunification visas, and others.
• Residence visas are applied for at the Portuguese consulate in the country where you live, via the MNE (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) visa portal.
• EU citizens do not need a visa — only need to register as residents after 3 months.
• After entering with a visa, the residence permit is processed at AIMA (Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum).
