Build Your Business. Build Your Future in Portugal.
The Portugal D2 Visa, also known as the Entrepreneur Visa, is designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, freelancers, and self-employed professionals who wish to establish or expand their business activities in Portugal.
It offers a pathway to live and work in one of Europe’s most welcoming countries while benefiting from its thriving economy, high quality of life, and access to the European market.
At YourD2 Visa, we simplify the process by providing personalised guidance, strategic business support, and end-to-end application assistance to help you prepare a strong and well-organised application.
What is the Portugal D2 Visa?
The Portugal D2 Visa is a residence visa that allows non-EU/EEA citizens to relocate to Portugal by creating, investing in, or managing a business or by working as an independent professional.
Unlike investment programmes that require a fixed capital contribution, the D2 Visa focuses on the viability of your business project and its potential contribution to the Portuguese economy.

The D2 Visa is generally suitable for:
- Entrepreneurs launching a new business
- Existing business owners expanding into Portugal
