How can a non EU citizen in my circumstances move to Portugal

6 years ago
I want to move to Portugal with my wife and child. I am a 44 year old citizen from Turkey and I read that non EU citizens can move to Portugal if they have a proven income of over about $1,400 a month, is this true?

If it is true, what are the requirements for this? Currently for example I am not working but I have 1 property here in Turkey which I rent out for around $1,800 a month. I only got this property as inheritance when my father passed away 6 months ago, it got put in my name about 4 months ago and I have been renting it out for 2 months now. Could this income be enough to get me residence in Portugal? What are the specific requirements in order to get a visa this way. More details on this type of visa, with the exact requirements and the costs would be very much appreciated.

Also can I bring my wife and my 2 years old child along by going through this visa? We plan to live in Portugal using this visa and we definitely want to eventually get Portuguese citizenship by going through this route.
