Residence Permit Success

We guide you through the final steps leading up to your AIMA appointment, where you receive your temporary residence permit — celebrating with you as you officially begin your new chapter in Portugal.

How long does it take for a Golden Visa to process?
Under a new law passed in January 2024, the time of your investment starts counting from the moment your lawyer submits the file to AIMA (SEF), so you can start counting 5 years immediately after the investment is made and the file is submitted.
What is the minimum amount for golden visa investment?
As of October 2023 the minimum investment amount is 500,000 euros in portuguese companies or funds.
Can I enter other EU countries?
With the residence permit you will have free transit and stay in the 26 countries of the Schengen territory and once you obtain your nationality you will have access to more than 180 countries without the need to apply for a visa.
Can other members of my family also apply for a residence permit?
As a main applicant, you can include your spouse, dependent children, and dependent parents under the program. They get their Golden Visa cards at the same time you do. They benefit from all the advantages and qualify to apply for citizenship at the end of five years.
Do I need to live in portugal or stay in the coutry for 5 years?
The Portuguese Golden Visa has one of the lowest stay requirements in Europe. It requires you to only spend an average of seven days annually in Portugal.
Do I have to pay taxes in Portugal?
Portugal generally only taxes your income sourced within Portugal for non-residents, meaning your international income outside Portugal is not taxed by Portugal unless you become a tax resident.
Can I work in Portugal with my visa?
Some visas (like D7 and D2) allow work or business activities; others (like Golden Visa) do not automatically grant work rights.
What documents do I need to apply?
Common documents include passport, proof of income/investment, criminal record, health insurance, and accommodation proof.
Can visa holders apply for permanent residency or citizenship?
Yes, after a certain period (usually 5 years), you can apply for permanent residency or citizenship if requirements are met.
