Are you concerned about potential changes in immigration law?

Portugal golden visa law changes extended the citizenship timeline from 5 to 10 years while the seven-day stay rule stayed in place. Key criteria to consider include your desire to be in Portugal, freeing up Schengen days for travel elsewhere in Europe, diversifying your portfolio into Europe, and establishing a path to permanent residency. After careful evaluation, many conclude that even with proposed changes, the program still meets their key criteria. The new program still offers the ability to live in Portugal, travel freedom, diversification opportunities, and permanent residency. The advice is to look at what the new program actually offers rather than getting caught up in anxious forum posts. The Golden Visa itself remains unchanged as an investment for residence program. You’re only required to spend seven days in Portugal the first year, then 14 days every two years after that. The residency requirement for citizenship was extended from five to ten years, and this change is currently under Supreme Court review. After five years, you can still get permanent residency and liquidate your investment, and the main Golden Visa benefits remain unchanged.
