Ora Immigration, a Dubai-based immigration consultancy serving clients across the UAE and GCC, today announced the expansion of its advisory services to include dedicated support for Portugal's residency-by-investment and remote-income visa pathways.
The expansion comes amid sustained interest from GCC-based professionals and investors in European residency options, as Portugal continues to be one of the most sought-after destinations for its quality of life, tax treaty benefits, and pathway to EU citizenship. With Portugal's Golden Visa program having shifted away from real estate qualification in 2023, Ora Immigration has structured its advisory around the country's current active routes: the D7 Passive Income Visa and the D8 Digital Nomad Visa.
The D7 visa is designed for individuals with stable passive income — from pensions, investments, or property rentals — who wish to relocate to Portugal, while the D8 visa targets remote workers and freelancers earning income from outside Portugal. Both pathways offer a route to permanent residency and, eventually, Portuguese and EU citizenship.
"Many of our clients in the UAE are financially well-positioned but unaware that Portugal's most accessible residency routes today are income-based rather than investment-based," said a spokesperson for Ora Immigration. "Our goal is to guide applicants through documentation, compliance, and application timelines so they can relocate with confidence and avoid the delays that come from relying on outdated information."
Ora Immigration's Portugal advisory includes eligibility assessment, documentation support, application submission guidance, and coordination with in-country legal partners to ensure compliance with Portuguese immigration law. The service is aimed at professionals, retirees, and remote-income earners based in the UAE and wider GCC region who are exploring long-term relocation or a second residency in the European Union.
The company continues to expand its advisory offerings across multiple international markets, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, Spain, Greece, the United States, and Caribbean citizenship-by-investment programs, alongside its core UAE-based immigration consulting services.
