Just a caution about the visa information as it relates to Portugal: VFS Global isn't singularly the processor for the Digital Nomad (D8) visa and no income, at all, is needed for the Passive Income or Retirement Visa (D7)....passive means that assets fully qualify an applicant. This data and more is always available for free, updated and more accurate than any other resource, at Americans and Friends in Portugal.
At least for the digital nomad visa (and maybe for the others?), Spain and I'm sure many/most of the other countries require you to submit a criminal background check. If you've ever been arrested (regardless of the disposition of the case; even if your record was expunged), you should get out ahead of this and check yourself out NOW. These reports are often inaccurate and you'll want to clear that up well in advance of trying to move abroad.

As I stated in my post, income derived from "investments" are considered. As always, I try to provide up to date information.

Thank you Rose ( ESQ) for that information.
