Portugal's D7 requires stable passive income at or above the Portuguese minimum wage (the D8 digital-nomad visa requires 4× it — €3,680/month in 2026), plus savings in a Portuguese bank. The minimum wage rose to €920/month on 1 January 2026, which raised every threshold.
Main applicant: 100% of minimum wage (€920/mo in 2026). Each additional adult: +50% (€460). Each child: +30% (€276). Consulates also expect roughly 12 months of the required income already sitting in a Portuguese bank account at application.
USD earner? Consulates assess in EUR — budget for exchange-rate movement between application and appointment. A 5–10% buffer above the minimum is what practitioners consistently recommend; borderline files invite refusals.
