EU visa requirements

Yes, they have to declare that they have the financial means to live in Portugal.

However, this process is much less bureaucratic than for non-EU citizens.

Are you EU citizen? Your profile says you're English.

Most EU countries you need you to show you have valid health insurance as well.

Yes am English with Irish passport 👋

@egchelsea: I also registered with an Irish passport (in Funchal in 2022). Although I had to sign a “Declaration of Commitment of Honour” affirming that I had sufficient means to support myself, I was not required to show any proof of income or savings.

@egchelsea,

For EU citizens, these are the requirements and documents:

Concerning income, you have to sign a Declaration, under oath:

1. that you are engaged in a subordinate or independent professional activity in Portugal; or
2. that you have sufficient resources for yourself and your family, as well as health insurance, provided that this is required in the Member State of your nationality for Portuguese nationals;

@egchelsea

What a stupid question!!! Have you heard about the basic concept of the EU ? EU citizens don't need to apply for a visa to go to Portugal and even less a proof of income .....

@egchelsea

You don't need to apply for anything.

All EU citizens just go and live in Portugal. Nobody is asking them anything.

I wonder where you got that requirement from ??? You are I'll advised.

@juliajonesjy,

There are no stupid questions. No one here talked about visas, but proof of income. And answers have already been given concerning this issue ...

@James in Portugal
