Yes. The D7 allows family reunification for a spouse or partner, dependent children and other qualifying dependants, but you must show extra income for each family member.
The D7 is intended for people living on passive income, but holders are generally not barred from also working or running a business in Portugal once resident, provided they still meet the passive-income requirement.
D7 residents are expected to be physically present for most of the period, typically around six consecutive or eight non-consecutive months per year, and absences beyond the allowed limits can jeopardise renewal.

The D7 is for people living on passive income such as pensions or rentals, while the D8 is for people with active remote employment or self-employment income from outside Portugal.
The D7 is Portugal's residency visa for people with stable passive income — pensions, rents, dividends or investments — who can live in Portugal without working locally. It is a popular route for retirees and the financially independent.
The D7 leads to a renewable residence permit, then to permanent residence after five years of legal residence; citizenship now generally requires longer under the 2026 Nationality Law.
