Your Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a business plan required for the D2 Visa application?
A business plan demonstrates the viability of your proposed venture in Portugal. It proves that your business aligns with the country’s economic goals, has the potential to generate revenue, and can contribute to job creation or cultural significance. Immigration authorities use the plan to assess whether your application meets the visa criteria.
Does the business plan need to show an existing business presence in Portugal?
Not necessarily. While having a business presence in Portugal can strengthen your application, your business plan can also focus on establishing a new venture. It should outline a roadmap for setting up the business, including funding, legal structure, and initial operations.
What financial information is critical for a D2 Visa business plan?
The plan must include realistic financial projections, detailing revenue streams, operating costs, and profitability over the next few years. It should also highlight the amount of investment required and demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to support the business and yourself during the startup phase.
