The income test is an average, over the last three months, of at least four times mainland Portugal's guaranteed minimum wage. In 2026 that wage is €920, so the test is €3,680 a month. There is no separate annual threshold and no statutory savings balance. The residence visa itself allows two entries and a stay of four months. AIMA then issues a residence permit for two years, renewable for three years at a time. Permanent residence is available after five years and does not expire. Nationality applications lodged from 19 May 2026 need 10 years of legal residence, or 7 years for nationals of Portuguese-speaking countries. The consular fee is €110 per applicant; children under 6 are exempt. About $123 at the ECB reference rate of 1.1186 USD per EUR on 8 October 2026. IFICI, the 20% rate for qualifying work, is a separate tax registration and is not granted by this visa. Madeira and the Azores set their own minimum wages; consular practice uses the mainland €920 figure. "D8" does not appear on the official forms.
