Changes to Immigration Law
Exciting news for Golden Visa applicants! Portugal has recently implemented a change to its residency time calculation for citizenship applications. This update offers significant benefits, potentially accelerating your path to Portuguese citizenship. We, at VIDA Fund, a Portuguese regulated hospitality fund qualifying for the Golden Visa program, explore these changes and their implications for investors.
Main Insights
Faster path to Portuguese citizenship: The 5-year residency countdown now starts at the time of application submission, not card issuance.
Delays no longer hurt your citizenship timeline: Long processing times (sometimes up to 24 months) won’t impact eligibility.
Vida Fund is a regulated, secure investment option: Focused on hospitality, it aligns perfectly with Golden Visa requirements and delivers strong return potential.
Portugal remains one of the most attractive Golden Visa programs – Now with an even more efficient citizenship path and continued tax advantages.
New Residency Calculation System: Faster Track to Citizenship
Previously, the 5-year residency period for citizenship applications started only after receiving the initial residence card. Now, it begins upon successfully submitting your residency application, including Golden Visa applications.
This change is particularly advantageous for those experiencing processing delays, which can be quite lengthy.
What This Means for You: Potential Benefits
Faster Citizenship Timeline:
The new system allows you to potentially shave months off your journey towards Portuguese citizenship – with a timeline of 5 years.
Reduced Impact of Delays:
Processing delays in receiving your residence card will not significantly affect your eligibility for citizenship. This can be a major relief for applicants facing lengthy waiting periods (up to 24 months in recent times).
