NEW RULES 2022

NEW RULES 2022
NEW RULES 2022
In 2022, new restrictions were applied to the Golden Visa real estate investments for residential purposes.
Many popular parts of the country such as Comporta, Melides, Grândola, Évora and sections of the Algarve remain eligible for Golden Visa investments. The foreign interest in these charming and historical towns and cities located on the southwest coast/interior of Portugal has been gaining momentum over the past few years and ORIA expects this to accelerate in 2022.
The new Golden Visa rules allow applicants to buy residential real estate in designated interior areas of the country worth at least €500,000 (or €350,000 if investing in a rehabilitation project). If the residential property is located in a designated ‘low-density’ area, then a 20% discount applies - the trendy towns mentioned above all fall into this category, as well as some regions of the already well known and sought-after Algarve region.
Alternatively, in light of the new rules, you can still apply for a Golden Visa by investing in commercial real estate or touristic properties (e.g. serviced apartments, apart-hotel units) anywhere in the country with the same investment thresholds of €500,000 or just €350,000 when investing in a commercial rehabilitation project. If the commercial property is located in a designated ‘low-density’ area, then a 20% discount applies).
Those who are focused on obtaining the Golden Visa through real estate should target the most popular of the eligible towns such as Comporta, Melides, Évora and parts of the Algarve. Real estate investors interested in touristic or commercial properties can still move forward with investments in the major cities, including Lisbon and Porto.

The Golden Visa in Portugal acts as a visa-waiver for other European countries, which reduces time spent on airports’ passport control queues.
Golden Visa in Portugal gained popularity mainly due to offering EU residency and, therefore, free movement through the Schengen Area and free relocation to any of the EU states upon gaining citizenship by investment. Yet, one of the most attractive benefits of the Golden Visa in Portugal is that it is extendable to family members.
A so-called Family Reunification paragraph of Residence Permit for Investing Activity (the official name for Golden Visa in Portugal) says that both the EU residency and EU citizenship can be extended to dependent family members.

The legal process of obtaining a Golden Visa in Portugal starts with registering online. The registration for the Golden Visa application is usually done by the legal representative appointed by the investor.
Once the registration for Golden Visa in Portugal has been made, the investor must come to Portugal and visit SEF, with the main office in Lisbon.
When applying for the Golden Visa in Portugal, the investor must submit biometric data – fingerprints and photograph – and also sign a written statement of his/her application. Similarly to the registration, this process can be completed individually, or with the help of a legal representative specialising in the Golden Visa programme.
The application time of the Golden Visa in Portugal and the time of issuing Golden Residence Permit are different.
Officially, authorities give a maximum of 90 days to approve the application for Golden Visa in Portugal. Nevertheless, if all documents had been filled out right, and the steps were followed correctly, SEF can approve the Golden Visa application in about 4 to 6 weeks. The physical Golden Residence Permit card takes a further 2 weeks to issue.
Therefore, the complete application process for Golden Visa in Portugal takes around 1.5 - 2 months.
After the purchase of property in Portugal and the receipt of the Golden Visa Residence Permit, the Golden Visa property can be used as a primary home, kept empty, or used as a holiday home and rented out short-, medium- or long-term.
The last options are considered to be the most popular, as it allows to improve the return on funds invested for Golden Visa in Portugal. After receiving EU citizenship, or permanent EU residency, the Golden Visa property can be sold.

GOLDEN VISA REAL ESTATE PORTUGAL
GOLDEN VISA REAL ESTATE PORTUGAL
Buying real estate is the most popular route to acquire the Golden Visa in Portugal. In fact, since 2012, 9 514 out of 10 170 issued Golden Visas were granted through the real estate route (source: SEF).
The reason behind property investment standing as the most popular way to obtain a Golden Visa in Portugal is the profitability of the purchased real estate fuelled by the rise of tourism.
