Our VFS Appointment, What Went Wrong? - Bypass Brexit - Portugal D7 Visa - Van Life - Portugal Ep3
Hello! And welcome to 3rd episode in our new Portugal series as we apply for the Portuguese D7 Passive Income Visa also known as the National Visa. In today's episode we take the train up to London to finally make the actual application at VFS Global for our D7 or National Portuguese visa.
WE nearly weren't allowed to attend the appointment DOH!
We've been 'stuck' in the UK (again) since returning to see loved ones over Christmas with COVID-19 border restrictions further protracted by Brexit! Not only does the D7 Visa allow us to resume travel (correct at the time of posting), but we can effectively bypass most of the Brexit travel restrictions, including the 90/180 Schengen max days in the EU/Schengen Zone.
We've decided to do a runner! Get our Visa, COVID-19 tests in hand and escape to Portugal to look at buying land.
