Cut Through the Noise: New DIY Visa Package Simplifies Portugal D7 and D8 Applications

As global mobility continues to reshape how people work, live, and retire, Portugal has emerged as a top destination for remote workers, retirees, and entrepreneurs. The country’s D7 and D8 visas have gained significant popularity, offering legal residency options for non-EU nationals with passive income or remote jobs. However, navigating the complex web of online visa advice has proven challenging for many.

The Problem: Misinformation Overload

A quick Google search for "Portugal D7 Visa requirements" yields thousands of results—but how many are accurate or up-to-date? Applicants often face:

• Conflicting Guidelines: Various blogs and unofficial sites provide outdated or incorrect information.
• Hidden Costs: Many services promise help but come with high legal fees.
• Missed Details: A minor documentation error can delay or even derail the entire application.

Given these obstacles, many applicants spend months conducting research, piecing together fragments of advice—only to remain uncertain about the process.

A Game-Changer for Applicants: Real Success Stories

To address these frustrations, The Golden Portugal launched its DIY D Visa Package, a step-by-step guide ​with video and a 20 page application guideline designed to simplify the D7 and D8 visa application process. But how well does it work in real life?

We spoke with James ​Winston, a remote tech consultant from ​t​he US, who successfully applied for his D7 visa using the DIY package.

“I was completely lost when I first started my research. Every blog seemed to say something different, and I didn’t know what was reliable,” James shared. “Hiring a lawyer was way out of my budget, but I couldn’t afford to make mistakes either.”

After finding the DIY package online, James decided to give it a try.

“It was a lifesaver. Everything was clear and professionally explained—from how much passive income I needed to the exact documents required for my consulate interview.”

James completed his visa application in just eight weeks and received approval on the first attempt.

“What surprised me the most was how confident I felt throughout the process. I knew I was submitting the right documents because the guidelines were so precise.”

Why This Matters Now

Portugal’s popularity among global movers is only growing. According to Portugal’s ​AIMA, the number of residence permits issued to non-EU nationals has increased by over 40% in recent years. This surge highlights the need for reliable, accessible information.

Unlike costly legal services, the DIY D Visa Package empowers applicants by providing clear, expert-verified guidance at an affordable price. It’s a tool that has already helped people like James Wu turn their dream of living in Portugal into reality.
