Hi There we are planning to move to Portugal to live from our current country of residence New Zealand. We have dual citizenship for NZ and UK.We are already applying for our NIF and bank accounts and looking at property to buy.Are we able to come to Portugal on tourist visa and apply in Portugal for D7 visa? Or do we have to apply now for D7 visa in New Zealand before we leave NZ? If we apply here in NZ for the D7 can we then leave NZ and come to Portugal on our tourist visa (NZ) passport while awiating D7 visa?

Hi Donna,

You have to apply in your country of origin. Once you are approved, you will get a 4 month visa. As soon as you arrive in Portugal, you need to make an appointment to get your visa extended at the SEF.
