[Important Notice] Changes to the Immigration Bureau's Fee Standards for the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program

Investors only need to purchase real estate or agricultural property worth over 500,000 euros in Portugal to obtain golden residence status for the entire family at once, enjoying the same benefits in healthcare and education as Portuguese citizens. Children applying to universities in various EU countries can also benefit from the most-favored-nation treatment within the EU. Experts from WorldWay Immigration remind everyone: immigration should be pursued early, as investment immigration policies may change at any time.

Primary applicant application fee: 520.40 euros / person

Dependent applicant application fee: 81.10 euros / person

Initial issuance fee for one-year golden residence card: 5202.60 euros / person

Renewal fee for two-year golden residence card: 2601.30 euros / person

Note: The card issuance fee is the same for both primary and dependent applicants.


The previous fee standards were as follows:


Primary applicant application fee: 517.40 euros / person

Dependent applicant application fee: 80.60 euros / person

Initial issuance fee for one-year golden residence card: 5173.60 euros / person

Renewal fee for two-year golden residence card: 2586.80 euros / person
