Need D2 Visa information
Hi, Welcome 
I think the most suitable for you would be the D7 visa (passive income).
_______
RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS WITHOUT A RESIDENCE VISA (former D2 Visa)
Please read this (SEF official website):
https://imigrante.sef.pt/en/solicitar/t … r/art89-2/
In the 'Documents required' section:
A. Evidence of having set a company according to the law, having declared the starting up of a business within the tax administration and social security as a legal person; OR
B. Contract for services for the carrying out of a liberal profession and statement by the professional association with evidence of the registration (whenever applicable).
Concerning case B.:
The applicant for this type of visa, may be, for example, a lawyer with a service contract for a company and must be registered in a foreign Bar Association recognised in Portugal. This way, there is also a guarantee that the higher education degree he/she obtained in a foreign higher education institution can also be recognised and matched in a Portuguese university.
The same applies to a doctor, engineer, architect, journalist, scientific researcher, academic teacher, ... or other liberal profession with registration in the respective professional associations (whenever applicable).
All documentation to be submitted will be verified by SEF.

Thanks for quick response, i don't have passive income ATM, i invested mostly of my 2 years saving in wedding & invested in crypto.
