Thanks. Whatās D7?
Youāre really not going to do well without a strong set of Google skills
The D7 is a residence visa for Portugal. Itās much cheaper but requires you spend most of your time in Portugal
Thanks.
I thought you were referring to Discussion 7 on that forum that I couldnāt find on the site.
I did read about D7 but was under the impression it would be harder to get citizenship etc.
It actually easier with the D7 in that itās faster. Citizenship laws have nothing to do with D7 or GV. It is a separate process.
Thanks. Good to know. Time to get a NIF.
Hello everyone,
My name is Tanveer and I am currently living in California 
. My partner and I are thinking about moving to Portugal 
. I came across this forum while researching online NIF application process (thank you for the handy 10% off coupon code).
I am an engineer, looking to continue my work remotely while my partner is about to retire from healthcare. We are looking for a home in Portugal.
These forums seem so helpful in navigating bureaucratic processes which can often be slow and painful. It has already offered us useful guidance and a sense of community to learn from variety of experiences. It makes the process seem less daunting.
I am very glad to have found this forum. I will post updates once we start our journey. For now, it is all about doing more research and getting everything ready!
Thank you all for your contribution to this community - big and small.
Regards,
Tanveer
Hi everyone!
My name is Molly, and I am living outside Washington DC in northern Virginia 
with my husband, a 10 y/o boy and a 7 y/o girl, and two lazy cats 
. I have worked for the U.S. government for over 20 years.
But lately, my country doesnāt feel much like a place where we want to raise our family. We are looking for a place with a kinder and more relaxed way of life, and Portugal rates high on our list. I would love to learn more from people who have moved their family overseas, especially if you ended up making a career change in the process.
We love to travel 
, and some of the favorite places I have visited areā¦
Maui 
Paris 
Sweden 
New York City 
Ireland 
and Northern Ireland 
I am currently reading Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson and am finding it a useful, if uncomfortable, read for understanding American society.
I look forward to getting to know you and learning from you!
Hi all fellow nomads,
I am now retired (just about), having worked in UK, Ireland and Netherlands for a number of different multinationals -European and US. Having ended my fulltime career about 7 years ago my wife and I moved to Spain and then 2 years ago back to The Netherlands, while I continued some consultancy work and and acted as a non-exec director. My children are scattered about the world, and I spend time with them in Australia, the US and a number of European countries - so Iām interested in moving money around the world and in matters such as health insurance, inheritance tax as it affects nomads and their heirs.

In Seattle now, expect to sign on a house in Pombal next month and weāll begin living there as soon as reasonably possible.
I used to work, but thank heavens havenāt for a while. I play the tuba and indulge in other mild eccentricities. S/O likes to sleep outdoors in a hammock and look for tracks of wild animals. 
I speak Portuguese reasonably well for an American, sheās learning. Our experience there has been that itās useful everywhere, and essential once you get off the international tourist beaten path, as we certainly are in Pombal. Weāll go to the bank soon after we have things settled there and get her an account, and Iāll have to translate.

Hi All,
I am Anthony Pinto from Bangalore, India and have been anything but nomadic all my life having stayed in just a couple of places in India itself all my life. We - that is my wife, three sons and I are in the process of applying for Portuguese PR through the Golden Visa route and should hopefully submit our formal application shortly.
Iāve worked for over 25 years with management consulting and investment banking firms and then in corporate finance in industry with a real estate developer in India. From the last 3 years I work as a freelance consultant enjoying the flexibility and extra-time that my 9 to 5 job never gave me all these years. My kids are all in college and my wife too is a freelance HR consultant.
We love music, reading and travelling and now as my kids are looking to study and settle abroad, decided that Portugal would be a good place for possible relocation either permanently or to split time between there and India. We decided on Portugal after a long and intense evaluation of different options and so far from whatever weāve heard from others not found cause to regret our decision.
I look forward to being part of this vibrant community
