Portugal D8 visa requirements
Check the requirements, then prepare the right documents
The Portugal D8 visa requirements include qualifying remote income, proof of accommodation, health insurance, a criminal record certificate, and a completed national visa application. The exact criminal-record steps depend on where you apply from.
How it works
Answer once
A short questionnaire about your job, income, family, and move date — one focused question at a time.
We write your documents
Your motivation letter, income letter, and income summary are generated from your answers — and the official visa form is pre-filled to match.

Why not just copy a template?
A blank template gets you the right structure. It doesn't know your job title, your exact income figure, whether you're an employee or a freelancer, or your actual move date — and it definitely doesn't keep those details consistent across your motivation letter, your income summary, and your visa form. A mismatch between documents is exactly the kind of small inconsistency that draws a follow-up request from a consulate. NomadPacket generates every document from the same answers, so they can't drift out of sync with each other.

Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No. NomadPacket assembles documents based on publicly available Portuguese consulate and AIMA requirements — it doesn't provide legal advice and can't guarantee visa approval. If your situation involves a criminal record, a prior visa refusal, or unusual income sources, talk to an immigration lawyer.
