What is a 'Retirement/Non-Lucrative Visa' (as it's called in Spain) called in Portugal?

What is the annual income requirement for one person?

Do you get it at the Portuguese consulate in the US - if you currently live in the US?

Thanks

It may not be an equivalent since I'm not familiar with the 'Retirement/Non-Lucrative Visa' but there is a Non Habitual Resident visa for Portugal for people who wish to reside in Portugal without working. It's good for 10 years and renewable.

Here's an official site, one that's been set up by the Portuguese government for foreigners:

You can read more about NHR in this law firm website (I've never dealt with this group, by the way, but the website is helpful):

Article in the Portugal Resident (Algarve publication in English):

If you do a search for “Non Habitual Resident visa for Portugal” on the internet, quite a few websites will show up, discussing it.
