In these two exclusive webinars, our CEOs discuss in depth which premium areas of Portugal are best suited for property investment and provide a general idea of the Portuguese real estate market. The webinar clarified the ongoing situation regarding the end of the Golden Visa Programme in Portugal.
The main points discussed by our CEOs, David Poston and Gary Harland, provided the current information on the continuous and onward implementation of the Portugal Golden Visa programme, its possible end on May 19th, 2023. Moreover, presenting existing and new client’s concrete information on the visa regulations, and the latest real estate investment opportunities for you to invest before any new regulations are established for the programme this year.
At this moment the proposed decision for the Portugal Golden Visa bill at the end of the programme is at a standstill, and the Portugal Golden Visa programme is fully eligible and ongoing for new and existing clients who already placed their applications. The bill on the Golden Visa includes various housing matters, ranging from long & short residential rentals, social housing for low-income rental accommodation, and lastly, the Portugal Golden Visa programme that is focused on real estate investments on commercial and touristic property in high-density (coastal) regions, and residential properties situated in low-density regions (interior) of the country. These high-density regions are considered highly populated territories such as Lisbon, Setubal, Leiria, Coimbra, Aveiro, Viseu, Porto, Braga, Viana do Castelo and Faro.

As soon as the official bill is passed through the Portuguese Parliament on May 19th, 2023, the final outcome will be the termination of the visa programme. However, this is important to understand that all clients will have a time allowance (either 30 days, 6 months to a year) for clients to still place a Golden Visa. In the past, the Portuguese government always provided a timeframe prior to be the absolute end. The end of the Golden Visa will be officially announced on a government official press site, which is called the Gazette (Diario da Republica) in Portugal, and this will be presented within one to two weeks; once that is placed it will act as the final date for Golden Visa submission.
Clients looking to invest through Golden Visa, once a property is purchased, the first step will be to secure a bank declaration for your funds and register your property, this process will take a few days.
Alongside the above information, the following key documentation must be presented:
After the full documentation is presented and submitted to SEF (Immigration and Borders Service), the initial submission process should take about three to four weeks minimum (time allowance provided by the government) for the Golden Visa. As the 5-year programme has undergone several changes, normally from experience the Portuguese Government provides a year allowance granted for new client submissions prior to changes/termination, and we are expecting the same for the passing of this new bill.
After you have made your real estate investment (minimum 280K), the client after five years can apply for citizenship. One of the main reasons the Golden Visa in Portugal is so popular is due to the splendid advantages for non-EU nationals with: the opportunity of earning EU residency; freedom of travel within the EU Schengen Zone; and being able to study, work, and live in Portugal. Best of all, the programme is great for families, as it allows for family inclusion (spouse, children, dependents, parents).
